The Swedish envoy, Kent Rolf Magnus Harstedt, arrived in North Korea’s capital on Monday.

The report did not specify the purpose and duration of the Swedish delegation’s visit.

However, South Korean media said the visit was likely related to the Australian student, Alek Sigley, who has been detained in Pyongyang.
