　　The North Korean government has canceled aplanned United Nations visit to the KaesongIndustrial Complex. The cancellation came just a daybefore UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon was tovisit the industrial center.

　　The complex lies just north of the South Korean border. It is one of the few remainingexamples of South Korea's Sunshine Policy of engagement with North Korea. Under theprogram, the South has provided aid and support programs to its northern neighbor.

　　Mr. Ban said he was surprised by the sudden cancellation.

　　"Early this morning, the authorities of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea informed us,through their diplomatic channel, that they were reversing their decision for me to visit theKaesong Industrial Complex. No explanation was given for this last-minute change."

　　The UN official had said he wanted to help ease relations and improve security on the Koreanpeninsula. He said his visit to Kaesong would show the benefits of cooperation between thetwo countries.

　　More than 53,000 North Koreans work at 120 South Korean factories in the complex.

　　South Korean Unification Ministry official Lim Byung-chul also voiced regret and reached out toNorth Korea.

　　He says his government once again urges North Korea not to move towards isolation, buttoward peace on the Korean peninsula.

　　Also on Wednesday, North Korea said it has the ability to miniaturize -- or make smaller --nuclear weapons. The announcement was made on North Korea's state news agency. Ifconfirmed, this ability would give North Korea the ability to place a nuclear weapon on a long orshort-range missile.

　　Chinese nuclear experts recently warned that North Korea has 20 nuclear warheads. NorthKorea has held underwater missile tests. The technology could soon give it the ability to strikeanywhere in the world.

　　Observers say North Korea's sudden cancellation does not come as a complete surprise. Theysay the government has ignored UN restrictions to its nuclear program and against a UNresolution. The measure asks the International Criminal Court to investigate North Koreanleader Kim Jong Un and other officials for crimes against humanity.

　　Phil Robertson works for Human Rights Watch. He says the cancellation of Ban Ki-moon's visitresulted from U.N. efforts to hold North Korea accountable.

　　"So what it is doing is playing a game of shoot the messenger with the U.N., trying to punishor shut out the U.N. whenever it can. And this latest action to bar Ban Ki-moon from theKaesong industrial complex is yet another example of that."

　　U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry spoke about the North Korean government during hisrecent visit to Seoul. He said the North has rejected Chinese and Russian efforts to restartinternational talks about its nuclear program in exchange for economic assistance.
