Seoul and Washington's top diplomats will meet in Poland on Thursday, ahead of the second North Korea-U.S. summit scheduled for late February in Vietnam.
South Korean foreign minister Kang Kyung-wha and U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will meet in Warsaw on the sidelines of the two-day ministerial summit on peace and security in the Middle East.
Kang says the key agenda will be to lay the groundwork for the second Kim-Trump summit, as well as evaluating U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun's recent visit to Pyeongyang.
Kang will propose areas South Korea can contribute to for another successful summit and let the U.S. know of the outline of the "corresponding measures" South Korea expects from Washington.
