North Korea recalled ambassadors in China, Singapore, Angola and the United Nations, apparently to discuss new negotiating strategies with the US.

Korean Ambassador to China Ji Jae-ryong and North Korean Ambassador to the United Nations Kim Song yesterday left the capital Beijing on the flight of Air Koryo. North Korean ambassadors in Angola and Singapore also appeared at the airport, showing the possibility that Pyongyang's diplomatic missions abroad are about to meet.

The purpose of the trip was not made clear, but it seemed that the North Korean ambassadors were about to participate in a negotiation strategy with the US. "This move shows new developments in the US-North Korea dialogue. They can also discuss plans to accumulate foreign currencies when Pyongyang's reserves are running low," the source said in anonymity in China. for good.

Ambassadors returned shortly after South Korea's NK News reported that North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong-ho had been replaced and his successor will be announced next week.

The US-North Korea working-level negotiations have remained deadlocked since the second summit in February 2019 in Hanoi. North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has announced that Pyongyang will end its ban on nuclear and long-range missiles, raising concerns that tensions will continue to erupt on the peninsula.

US President Donald Trump last week sent his birthday wishes to North Korea's leader. However, high-ranking North Korean officials have said the good relations between the two leaders are personal and Pyongyang will only return to the negotiating table if Washington meets their requests.
