South Korea's chief nuclear envoy will leave for Washington on Saturday
for talks with his US and Japanese counterparts after his trip to Moscow
aimed at securing Russia's cooperation in bringing North Korea back to
dialogue, officials said here.
Noh Kyu-duk wrapped up a four-day
trip to Moscow and was set to depart for Washington, as Seoul ramps up
diplomacy to resume its stalled initiative for lasting peace on the
Korean Peninsula, reports Yonhap News Agency.
Noh and the US
special representative for North Korea, Sung Kim, are expected to meet
bilaterally on Monday and join a trilateral meeting with their Japanese
counterpart, Takehiro Funakoshi, the following day.
Noh will likely hold two-way talks with Funakoshi on Tuesday.
The three held their last in-person talks in September in Tokyo.
The
upcoming talks will likely touch on President Moon Jae-in's recent
proposal to declare a formal end to the 1950-53 Korean War, which Noh
has said is the most effective among confidence-building measures with
the North.
They could also discuss inducements for dialogue with
the North, such as humanitarian support, and the recent reactivation of
inter-Korean communication lines, which has raised cautious hope for a
thaw in cross-border relations.
Nuclear talks between Washington
and Pyongyang have remained stalled since the Hanoi summit in 2019
between then US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim
Jong-un that ended without a deal.
