<span class=yiv1215173515msid1404>I have received the sad news from Budapest
that Dr. Károly Fendler has passed away on 17th February 2013. He was one of
the first Hungarian diplomats who spent time in North Korea from the 1950s. We
have met regularly in Vienna once or twice a year until last autumn, and it was
always instructive and inspiring, often also entertaining to hear his insider's
stories about the North Korean leadership. He remained committed to Korea and
Korean Studies until his last days. Károly's enthusiasm for his research, his
willingness to share, his deep insights and good sense of humor will be missed
greatly.</span><br>
