US Special Envoy to travel to East Asia
U.S. special envoy for North Korea will travel to South Korea, China and Japan this week. The State Department said in a statement Sunday that Ambassador Stephen Bosworth will visit the three countries from Monday to Friday. Washington's special envoy for six-party talks, Sung Kim, will accompany him.
Bosworth is scheduled to arrive in Seoul on Tuesday and travel to Beijing the next day. He will continue on to Tokyo on Thursday. The State Department says he will meet with senior government officials in all three cities to discuss the "next steps on the Korea Peninsula."
Supposedly that means discussions on how to revive the 'six-way' talks, which the Norks would like if it means that we recognize them as a nuclear power. |
