NORTH KOREA WELCOMES CONTACT WITH U.S. DIPLOMATS
North Korea said it welcomed new
contacts between Korean and U.S. Diplomats and would impose no
restrictions on them, the New China News Agency reported from
Pyongyang.
    A North Korean Foreign Ministry statement said it hoped
diplomatic contact would help "promote sincere conversations
with goodwill and broad-mindedness," the agency said.
    The United States on March 9 lifted its ban on its
diplomats speaking with North Korean diplomats on neutral
territory.
