Noh Gyu-deok, head of the Korean Peninsula Peace Negotiation Headquarters, and Sung

Kim, the

US special representative for North Korea, hold a meeting this morning at the Lotte Hotel in Sogong-dong, Seoul.

This is the first meeting of the senior representatives of the ROK and the United States after Sung Kim was appointed as the US chief representative for North Korea's nuclear program.

[Choi Young-sam/Ministry of Foreign Affairs Spokesperson: We plan to discuss ways to cooperate between the two countries for the practical progress of complete denuclearization and establishment of lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula.]

General Secretary Kim Jong-un mentioned 'stable management of the situation on the Korean Peninsula' at the plenary meeting of the Workers' Party of Korea and left room for dialogue is open, so I am interested in whether there will be any incentives to lead North Korea to dialogue along with measures to denuclearize North Korea.

The South Korean and US chief representatives are also scheduled to hold a trilateral meeting with Japan's chief representative for North Korea's nuclear program, Takehiro Funakoshi, who visited Korea yesterday.

Although South Korea and Japan are conflicting on several issues, it seems that the trilateral cooperation between South Korea, the US and Japan to resolve the North Korean nuclear issue is expected to be emphasized in today's Korea-U.S.-Japan meeting.

A meeting of the chief representatives of Korea and Japan is also held, and it is noteworthy whether other issues will be discussed between Korea and Japan.

Special Representative Seong Kim is scheduled to leave Korea the day after tomorrow after meeting with Unification Minister Lee In-young and meeting with academia and civil society figures.

During his visit to Korea, it is known that CEO Sung Kim has no plans to contact North Korea at Panmunjom.
