North Korea invites Eric Clapton to play concert in Pyongyang
2008-02-29 06:25:00 North Korean officials have invited Eric Clapton to play a concert in the Communist state, a diplomat at the country's embassy in London said Tuesday. But a spokeswoman for the rock guitarist said no agreement has been reached. The diplomat confirmed reports in the British press that Clapton had been officially invited to Pyongyang -- the first Western rock star welcomed to the isolated nation. "Eric Clapton is a well-known musician and guitarist, famous throughout the world," said the official, who declined to give his name. "It will be a good opportunity for Western music to be understood better by Koreans."

New York Philharmonic in Pyongyang: cultural diplomacy or state sponsored p
2007-12-18 04:56:00 Since the announcement Tuesday that the New York Philharmonic plans a 48 hr visit into the heart of North Korea, the world has been a buzz. Headlines praise and criticize the visit on February 26th, 2008 for both encouraging discourse between states and legitimizing the D.P.R.K.?s regime. This is not a first for cultural diplomacy; China, the Soviet Union and Iran have all had their methods of trying to befriend the North American powerhouse, but is the agenda behind them cultural, political or both? Cultural diplomacy: a gentler type of carrot It?s no secret that North Korea is a bothersome splinter impeding the far reaching grasp of the current Bush administration. As one of the founding members of the ?Axis of Evil?, North Korea has been less than forthcoming with U.S. plans for its denuclearization. The current Six-Party Talks (U.S., China, Russia, Japan, D.P.R.K and South Korea) have been attempting to deflate tensions between states and force a shutdown of D.P.R.K?s nuclear...

Per i due capi di Stato è una giornata storica, un altro passo sulla via della pace. E di passi, Roh Moohyun, ne ha voluti compiere molti, e non solo figurati, varcando a piedi con un gesto altamente simbolico la frontiera lungo il 38esimo parallelo, ultima reliquia della guerra fredda. Divise da 55 anni di tensioni, le due Coree hanno avviato la riconciliazione fin dal 2000, anno della visita a Pyongyang dell'allora presidente sudcoreano Kim Daejung. Roh Moohyun rimarrà a Pyongyang fino a giovedì, per discutere di pace e collaborazione economica (già oggi 16mila operai del Nord ex...

Prodding Pyongyang
2007-06-30 03:33:00 The perpetually frosty state of relations between North Korea and the U.S. has meant that Washington’s diplomats don’t rack up many frequent-flyer miles traveling to the isolated capital of Pyongyang. Prior to last week, the last time a senior American diplomat visited was October 2002, and then only to confront the North with secret intelligence about its nuclear-weapons program. But on June 21, Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, the U.S.’s lead negotiator in the six-party talks aimed at getting North Korea to give up its nukes, showed up in Pyongyang unexpectedly, and this time the purpose was not confrontation but conciliation. After two days of talks, Hill announced Pyongyang was going to abide by a February agreement to shut down its lone nuclear reactor. A dispute over $25 million of North Korea’s funds which had been frozen in a Macau bank had finally been resolved—the North got its money back—and now the nuclear agreement—”the ...

Is Washington messing with Pyongyang's head?
2007-03-24 09:18:00 "It was quite a rude awakening to hear on the news that my money was going to be used for charity," the holder of an account with the Macau-based Banco Delta Asia told me on the condition that I didn't reveal his identity.He was referring to the announcement last weekend that a deal had been struck to release some $25 million dollars in North Korea related accounts held at the small family-run lender. The cash had been frozen by the Macau Monetary Authority after the U.S. Treasury Department accused the bank of being a money laundering concern back in September, 2005.Under the deal, the money would be transferred to an account with the Bank of China in Beijing, and then disbursed for humanitarian and educational programs to help the people of North Korea."What needs to be understood," he said, "is that not all the funds belong to the North Korean government, but that a substantial amount belongs to private customers."Colin McAskill, chairman of the London-based fund Koryo Asia Ltd ...

Pyongyang - A Journey in North Korea
2006-10-10 14:45:02 Pyongyang: A Journey in North Korea by Guy Delisle A westerner’s visit into North Korea, told in the form of a graphic novel. Famously referred to as one of the “Axis of Evil” countries, North Korea remains one of the most secretive and mysterious nations in the world today. In early 2001 cartoonist Guy Delisle became one of the few Westerners to be allowed access to the fortresslike country. While living in the nation’s capital for two months on a work visa for a French film animation company, Delisle observed what he was allowed to see of the culture and lives of the few North Koreans he encountered; his findings form the basis of this remarkable graphic novel. Pyongyang is an informative, personal, and accessible look at a dangerous and enigmatic country.
