N.Korea Hoping for Talks with Ex-U.S. Officials
North Korean officials are reportedly trying to meet with former U.S. officials this week. Yonhap News cited sources in Washington as saying the North's chief nuclear negotiator Ri Yong-ho is in Berlin to attend a seminar alongside a number of U.S. experts on the Korean peninsula.

Attendees from the U.S. include Washington's ex-nuclear negotiator Stephen Bosworth and former State Department official Joel Wit.

Diplomatic sources said the seminar is being private and no incumbent U.S. officials will attend, but there is a chance that the ex-U.S. officials may decide to meet Ri.
Nothing good will come of this. Bosworth and Wit are known squishes when it comes to the Norks.
