U.N. nuclear watchdog says receives North Korea invitation

VIENNA (Reuters) - The U.N. nuclear watchdog said on Monday it had received an invitation from North Korea to visit, three years after its inspectors were expelled from the reclusive Asian state.

The International Atomic Energy Agency, a Vienna-based U.N. body, said it received the invitation on March 16 and it would discuss the details of the visit with North Korea and "other parties concerned".

"Nothing has been decided yet," an IAEA spokeswoman said.
