Mr Noh Kyu-duk, South Korea's special representative for Korean Peninsula peace and security affairs, will make a four-day trip to Washington from Sunday to Wednesday for talks with Sung Kim, US special representative for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
During the visit, Mr Noh will meet the officials from the US Department of State, the National Security Council, and other agencies to continue consultations, which the two sides began during the US nuclear envoy's trip to Seoul earlier this week.
During the meeting in Seoul, the two officials discussed possible humanitarian assistance to the North while Pyongyang is opposing South Korea-US joint military drills. Mr Kim has confirmed that the United States does not have hostile intent toward North Korea.
