U.S. Special Envoy to North Korea Shifts Jobs

Joseph DeTrani has left his position as U.S. special envoy to the stalled nuclear disarmament negotiations with North Korea, Agence France-Presse reported yesterday (see GSN, Jan. 4).

DeTrani left the State Department job he held since January 2004 in order to become a senior adviser to National Intelligence Director John Negroponte, according to AFP.

DeTrani, a former CIA officer, “made an enormous contribution to our policies concerning North Korea,” said State Department spokesman Sean McCormack (Agence France-Presse/Hindustan Times, Jan. 4).
