U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon

U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon will visit Pyongyang this week, Yonhap reports.

It will be his first trip as U.N. leader, after North Korea abruptly cancelled his planned visit in May for an unknown reason. It was speculation that the North cancelled the visit because of Ban’s remarks that North Korea's missile launches violated Security Council resolutions.

It is not known if Ban will meet North Korean leader Kim Jong-un.
