Donald Gregg, center, former U.S. ambassador to South Korea who now chairs the Pacific Century Institute, a non-profit organization, waves upon his arrival at Pyongyang Airport in North Korea, Monday. He visited the communist state with representatives of the U.S. based institute, with the purpose of playing a role as a mediator between Washington and Pyongyang. He is expected to engage in talks for the release of Kenneth Bae, the Korean-American currently held in the North. The U.S. made clear, however, that they are not official delegates dispatched from the government. / AP-Yonhap
