N. Korea names trade expert as second-highest official on S. Korea: sources
SEOUL, March 16 (Yonhap) -- North Korea has named a top trade specialist as one of its second-highest officials in charge of relations with South Korea, sources here said Tuesday.
The appointment of Ri Kwang-gun, who oversaw the communist state's foreign trade for about three years until April 2004, took place late last year, they said, when the North began to open dialogue with the South after drawing new U.N. sanctions for its nuclear test in May.
