The UK Foreign Office said,
"Pyongyang's diplomatic community was invited to the opening of the Rungna People's Pleasure Ground. This included the chargé d'affaires of the British Embassy, who accepted the invitation to attend.
While this was an unusual event, it is vital that we actively engage with the North Korean administration since we work closely with them on a number of humanitarian, cultural and education projects which benefit the people of North Korea."Meanwhile North Korea has requested immediate food aid from the United Nations, in the wake of floods that state media reported had left 119 dead and tens of thousands homeless.
