Google’s executive chairman, Eric Schmidt arrived in Pyongyang, North Korea today. He’s in the country as part of a private delegation led by Bill Richardson, former governor of New Mexico.
“This is a private humanitarian visit,” Richardson told reporters in Pyongyang. “We’re here as individual American citizens looking at the humanitarian situation..”
Schmidt, however, hasn’t explicitly revealed his reasons for joining the delegation.
Karin Lee executive director of the National Committee on North Korea says that might be for a number of reasons.
