Japan - Official visits N. Korea
Print Edition
A Japanese professional wrestler-turned-lawmaker will visit North Korea next week, his secretary said this week, as a spotlight shone on the Pyongyang antics of ex-NBA star Dennis Rodman.
Antonio Inoki is a frequent visitor to the reclusive communist state. During his last trip in November, he met Jang Song-Thaek, uncle of young leader Kim Jong-Un who was purged and executed last month. Inoki, an opposition member of the upper house, heads a non-profit organization aimed at establishing sports-based exchanges, which has opened an office in Pyongyang.
“We don’t know until we arrive there who the senator will meet with,” Inoki’s secretary said.
