North Korea wraps up Africa tour, exaggerates purpose

Accounts and content of meetings appear at odds with local media reports

Pyongyang's top diplomat, Ri Su Yong, completed a two-week-journey to mostly southern African countries on Monday, the Korea Central News Agency (KCNA) said, though the purpose of the meetings there appear to be exaggerated.
