North Korea is anticipated to dispatch a vice minister-level diplomat to the upcoming United Nations General Assembly in New York, according to sources reporting on Saturday. Kim Son-gyong, a vice foreign minister overseeing international organizations, is the individual who may deliver a speech on behalf of the nation. The UN Secretariat has posted a list of speakers, indicating that a North Korean vice minister-level official will represent the country and address the UN headquarters on September 28, which is the concluding day of the high-level segment of the 81st UN General Assembly.
The general debate of this year's UN General Assembly is scheduled from September 22-26 and concludes on September 28. North Korea possesses several vice foreign ministers, but diplomatic sources believe Kim, who oversees international organizations, is most likely to attend, having done so last year. In 2024, Kim led a North Korean delegation to the General Assembly for the first time in seven years following the unsuccessful 2019 Hanoi summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
