The top U.S. envoy on North Korean human rights issues will travel to Europe next week for meetings with local officials concerned about the communist nation, the State Department announced Friday.
Ambassador Robert King is due in Brussels on Monday and Tuesday for discussions with officials from the European Parliament, European Union, and nations that "share deep concerns about the deplorable human rights situation" in North Korea, it said.
He will be joined by Deputy Assistant Secretary of State for Democracy, Human Rights and Labor Scott Busby, it added.
King will then visit Geneva on Wednesday to join a U.N. human rights session, in which he will deliver remarks on the North's human rights abuses.
