A two-man US team tasked with evaluating a request for food aid from impoverished North Korea arrived in Pyongyang on Tuesday, China's official Xinhua news agency reported.

Last week, US State Department spokesman Mark Toner said King would also raise "appropriate human rights issues" with North Korean officials during the trip.
