Question: does north korea have an ambassador to the united nations

Answer: Yes, Pak has been the ambassador to the United Nations for North Korea since 2001. During this time, he has called for the UN to prevent Japan from obtaining a permanent seat on the Security Council. On May 13, 2005, he met with Joseph DeTrani, a special envoy for the United States, to discuss a North Korean return to the ``six-party talks'' on North Korean nuclear proliferation. This meeting was the first between US and North Korean officials in six months.
