由谷歌高管和其他美国重要人士组成的私人代表团在访问朝鲜期间表示，他们敦促平壤停止其武器项目以及允许扩大其公民对互联网和手机的使用。

代表团团长、前美国新墨西哥州州长理查森星期三对美联社说，该代表团还敦促平壤公平对待一名被这个共党国家拘留的美国公民。

曾经担任美国常驻联合国代表的理查森和谷歌总裁施密特星期一抵达平壤，对朝鲜进行为期四天的访问，他们将此行称为“人道主义”访问。

美国国务院对这次访问提出批评，认为访问的时机对事态没有任何帮助。


A private delegation of Google executives and other U.S. leaders touring North Korea says it is urging Pyongyang to halt its weapons program and allow for expanded use of the Internet and cell phones.

Former New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson, who is leading the delegation, told the Associated Press on Wednesday the group has also been pushing for the fair treatment of a U.S. citizen detained in this communist country.

Richardson, a former U.S. ambassador to the United Nations, and Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt arrived in Pyongyang on Monday for a four-day visit they have described as "humanitarian."

The U.S. State Department has criticized the trip, calling its timing "unhelpful."
