Seoul: North Korea has appointed Ri Yong Ho, 59, as
its new Foreign Minister. Ho replaces Ri Su Yong, who was one of the highest
profile leaders in the Kim Jong Un ruling North Korea.
Ri worked as a former ambassador to Britain and is
likely to represent North Korean cases to the United Nations now. He was also
the vice foreign minister and had represented his nation at six-party talks on
North Korea’s nuclear programme that ‘fell apart after their last round in
2008,’ reports said.
However, the high profile ministry alterations were
assumed by many as a change of the nation all over. Lee Ji-sue, a North Korea
expert at South Korea's Myongji University has denied the assumption, saying:
“Like Ri Su Yong who took orders from Kim Jong Il and Kim Jong Un, Ri Yong Ho
won't have much say in foreign policies.”
