(For North Korea to offer)
UNITED NATIONS: A European Union official on Friday confirmed that North Korea has invited the EU's special representative for human rights to visit the country.
A visit by Stavros Lambrinidis would be a significant step toward resuming a human rights dialogue between the EU and North Korea, which broke off previous talks in 2003. On Thursday, a North Korean diplomat to the United Nations told The Associated Press that the invitation had been sent.
The EU official spoke Friday on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to comment. The EU has said Lambrinidis recently met with a Pyongyang representative.
In Brussels, EU spokeswoman Maja Kocijancic said a team of experts from the union's diplomatic service had been scheduled to visit Pyongyang next week for meetings with authorities, but "new Ebola-related entry restrictions" enacted by the government have postponed it.
For North Korea to offer any dialogue on human rights, a topic which its government until recently would not discuss, is seen as significant by the international community. But such an offer also has been greeted with skepticism by rights groups and some diplomats.
North Korea also has offered the possibility of visits by United Nations rights officials, but the North Korea diplomat, Kim Un Chol, said Thursday that those offers would be dropped unless a UN resolution on the country removes any reference to the International Criminal Court before Saturday.
Kim treated the EU invitation as a separate issue and said the visit by Lambrinidis is expected next March.
North Korea has been on the defensive since a UN commission of inquiry early this year detailed what it said were vast human rights abuses in the impoverished but nuclear-armed country and warned that leader Kim Jong Un could be held accountable.
