Pyongyang bureau for Kyodo News

Kyodo News, Japan’s major news agency, said Thursday it will open a bureau in Pyongyang on September 1, the first Japanese news organisation to establish a bureau in North Korea. The bureau chief of Kyodo’s China General Bureau will concurrently serve as head of the Pyongyang office. There will be no full-time staff dispatched from Japan at the beginning at the Pyongyang base, which will have locally recruited staff. But if needed, reporters will be sent to the North from other areas. (Japan Times, August 25, 2006)
