Franklin Graham visits North Korea; meets officials

Written by Staff | Sunday, October 25, 2009

US evangelist Franklin Graham on Wednesday, Oct 7, 2009, met with North Korea’s foreign minister in a bid to help improve relations between the communist country and the United States, state media said. The talks between Graham and Pak Ui-Chun were held in a “friendly” manner, the official Korean Central News Agency (KCNA) said, without giving details.

Graham, who heads a non-governmental Christian organisation called Samaritan’s Purse, arrived in the capital Pyongyang Tuesday, the agency said. South Korea’s Yonhap news agency said it was Graham’s fourth visit to North Korea.
