Seoul and Washington's nuclear envoys prepare for their leaders' denuke talks
- 5 years ago
Visiting U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Stephen Biegun has just wrapped up a meeting in Seoul with his South Korean counterpart, Lee Do-hoon.
Their meeting lasted for about an hour and a half, and focused on ways to resume talks with the North as well as narrowing down the denuclearization issues for their leaders to discuss when they meet this weekend.
Biegun will meet Seoul's Unification Minister Kim Yeon-chul this afternoon.
Kim is expected to update Biegun on inter-Korean ties, including Seoul's plans to provide 50-thousand tons of rice aid to the North.
There has been speculation about Biegun's possible contact with the North Koreans,... but it doesn't seem likely as he will be busy with his own team and U.S. officials at the embassy, to prepare for President Trump's visit to Seoul this weekend.
