North Korea has put on hold a visit by officials from the International Atomic Energy Agency scheduled for next week, according to Reuters. An official at Pyongyang's embassy in Geneva said, ¡°As of now, US$25 million of the frozen funds in Banco Delta Asaia have not reached our bank account¡± in a Russian bank.
He added, ¡°We have no objection to them preparing the visit as a plan, but we are not ready to give our official confirmation for the visit as scheduled by the agency.¡±
The IAEA planned to send working-level delegates to Pyongyang to discuss ways to monitor North Korea¡¯s shutdown of nuclear facilities.
