Seoul's foreign ministry says Lee Do-hoon, special representative for Korean Peninsula peace and security affairs,... will leave for Washington on Tuesday.
Lee and U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun will address the Atlantic Council-East Asia Foundation Strategic Dialogue on Wednesday,... marking the first time that the two envoys will speak on the same stage.
