SEOUL, South Korea -- A high-level Iranian delegation arrived in North Korea
on Thursday, the North's media reported, as the two hardline regimes face
international pressure to give up their nuclear weapons programs.
The Iranian Foreign Ministry delegation, led by Vice Minister Mahdi Safari,
arrived in Pyongyang, the Korean Central News Agency reported in a one-
sentence dispatch without giving any further details.
North Korea and Iran _ both labeled by President Bush as part of an "axis
of evil" along with prewar Iraq _ are under growing international pressure
to give up their pursuit of nuclear programs.
North Korea is believed to have sold missiles to Iran. Although North Korea's
publicly acknowledged nuclear weapons program uses plutonium, Iran's is
based on uranium.
