NEW YORK, September 29 (RIA Novosti) — UN has denied the report that its Secretary General Ban Ki-moon received an invitation and may visit North Korea, according to the UN press service's statement Monday.

The reports, mentioning the letter of Kim Jong- un, the head of North Korea, that was handed over to Ban Ki-moon, appeared on Saturday.
