Google executive chairman Eric Schmidt, who serves as an adviser to President Obama on science and technology policy , is reportedly headed to North Korea.

“Eric Schmidt will be traveling to North Korea on a private trip led by former New Mexico Gov. Bill Richardson that could take place as early as this month,” the Associated Press reports based on two sources. “It would be the first trip by a top executive from U.S.-based Google to a country considered to have the world’s most restrictive Internet policies.”
