Former U.S. president Bill Clinton made a surprise trip to North Korea on Tuesday to try to bring home two jailed U.S. reporters, in what was the highest-profile visit by an American to Pyongyang for nearly a decade. The hardline communist state sent two senior officials and a schoolgirl with a floral bouquet to greet him at the capital's Sunan airport.
Analysts said the reception may indicate Pyongyang is seeking better relations with its arch enemy Washington, after months of high tensions sparked by the North's nuclear and missile tests and subsequent UN sanctions.
