North Korea Watch: Meeting the Other Bill
New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson will be meeting with diplomats from North Korea, which some are interpreting as a further thaw in relations between the North and the United States.
Kim Jong-il also reportedly sent condolences to the family of former President Kim Dae-jung, who died yesterday.
As a congressman, Richardson embarked on several diplomatic missions during the 1990s, and was instrumental in getting American Evan Hunziker released from North Korea in 1996.
