Former U.S. President Jimmy Carter reportedly wishes to visit North Korea and meet leader Kim Jong-un to discuss North Korea’s nuclear programs.
 
Park Han-shik,, a professor emeritus at University of Georgia who is an expert on North Korea, told Yonhap News Sunday Carter wants to play a role in resolving the serious situation, as he did during the Clinton administration in 1994.
 
Park said that Carter wrote a recent editorial in the Washington Post to convey to Pyongyang his wish to visit. 

The piece suggested sending a high-level U.S. delegation to Pyongyang for peace talks.  Park said the North has not responded yet.
 
Park says U.S. President Donald Trump has rejected several offers by Carter to travel to Pyongyang, saying the situation is one for the present administration to handle, not a past president.
