N. Korean group set to attend event hosted by S. Korean province, NGO this week

Senior official Ri Jong Hyok to accompany delegation to Manila, Gyeonggi province says

A North Korean delegation including senior official Ri Jong Hyok will this week participate in an event in the Philippines hosted by a South Korean provincial government and civic group, in a planned meeting that comes amid months of deadlock between Seoul and Pyongyang.

The Gyeonggi provincial government on Tuesday announced that it, alongside the Seoul-based Asia Pacific Exchange Association (APEA), will host the “2019 International Convention for Peace and Prosperity in the Asia Pacific” from Thursday to Saturday in Manila.
