US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice will meet with North Korean officials next week to discuss the inspections of nuclear and missile facilities.

[Pompei O / US Secretary of State (today, Laurent Graham Show): North Korean leader Kim Jong Eun has allowed US inspectors to explore two important facilities. It is one of the things we will discuss next week with our North Korean counterparts.]

I have officially confirmed that he plans to hold a high-level North American talks that he proposed last month to North Korea next week.

Considering the US midterm elections scheduled for next Tuesday, North American high - level talks are likely to take place in the second half of next week, perhaps eight or nine days.

Minister Pompei did not specifically mention the location and opponents of the North American high-level talks.

Washington is expected to hold talks with New Yorker and vice chairman Kim Young - chul, vice chairman of the North Korean Workers' Party.

Pompeii also said he wants to make the North American summit possible before it's too late, and said he hopes to have a huge breakthrough in eliminating the North Korean nuclear threat at the summit next year.

It will be noted whether the next week's high-level talks will be a breakthrough in the North American dialogue, which is on hold, and will shape the second North American summit.
