North Korea's foreign minister is visiting Sweden on Thursday.
According to the Swedish government, Ri Yong-ho is meeting his counterpart, Sweden's Minister for Foreign Affairs Margot Wallström.
The two are set to talk about the security situation on the Korean Peninsula as well as "Sweden's consular responsibilities as a protecting power for the United States, Canada and Australia." This isn't entirely out of place since the Swedish Embassy in North Korea represents U.S. interests in the country.
