Senior U.S. Official in Seoul for Talks on N. Korea
2012-01-05
North Korea will be firmly on the agenda when Kurt Campbell, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for East Asia, begins talks with officials here after he arrived in Seoul on Wednesday evening following a two-day visit to China.

Campbell was scheduled to begin talks on Thursday with South Korea's Deputy Foreign Minister Kim Jae-shin and top six-party nuclear negotiator Lim Sung-nam. Discussions will likely focus on the situation on the Korean Peninsula after Kim Jong-il's death, and regional efforts to denuclearize North Korea.

Earlier Wednesday, the U.S. diplomat met with Chinese Vice Foreign Ministers Zhang Zhijun and Cui Tiankai in Beijing. Issues relating to North Korea and Myanmar are believed to have topped the agenda.
