- 12 years ago
Senior North Korean diplomat, Ri Gun is heading to Germany for talks with the United States on food aid.
The U.S. has suspended planned food aid as Pyongyang vows to push ahead with plans to launch a long-range missile.
North Korea says it is a weather satellite, but South Korea and their American allies are calling it a disguised ballistic missile test.
North Korean state TV is critical of these comments, accusing the U.S. of heightening military tension on the Korean peninsula.
According to South Korean media the North fired two short-range missiles off its west coast on Thursday, believed to be part of a test to upgrade capabilities.
