A North Korean foreign ministry delegation is expected to attend the U.N. General Assembly in New York this September, according to multiple informed sources, in a likely move to keep the DPRK on Washington’s radar ahead of the U.S. presidential election.

One informed intelligence source told NK News that the DPRK foreign minister could attend and speak at the annual gathering, after Japan’s Yomiuri Shimbun reported the same earlier on Friday, citing a U.N. diplomatic source.
