Timeline
Kang Sok-ju (강석주; ; August 29, 1939 – May 20, 2016 ) was a North Korean diplomat and politician.
Having obtained a Bachelor's degree in French from the University of International Affairs in Pyongyang, Kang began a diplomatic career.
His first significant position was as the Korean Workers' Party's deputy director for international affairs, and then director.
In 1980, he was appointed section leader of his bureau.
In 1984, he joined the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and in 1986 he became First Vice Foreign Minister, a position which he held until 2010.
In the 1990s, he was prominently involved in diplomatic talks with the United States over the issue of his country's nuclear programme.
KBS describes him as being "among a handful of well-known North Korean officials", who has "gained global attention", and adds: "Considered too aggressive at times, Kang sometimes caused problems with his pushy demeanor. In the early 1990s, he made several crucial decisions without consulting the party and was sent to a concentration camp for training in revolutionary discipline".
He negotiated the Agreed Framework with Assistant Secretary of State Robert Gallucci and former U.S. President Jimmy Carter in 1994.
He was subsequently in charge of supervising North Korea's relations with the United States, which became his area of expertise.
Reuters states that Kang "engineered the development of the North's nuclear programme that [...] has been the key source of regional security tensions".
In September 2010, he was promoted to the position of Deputy Premier of the North Korean Government, under Premier Choe Yong-rim.
His specific assignment was to oversee foreign policy.
Kim Kye-gwan replaced him as First Vice Foreign Minister.
BBC News described Kang as "a confidant of leader Kim Jong-il".
Kang died on May 20, 2016, from esophageal cancer.
His funeral committee was chaired by Choe Ryong-hae and had 52 other members.
