NUCLEAR envoys from the two Koreas plan to meet for talks in Beijing this week, South Korean officials have said in the latest sign of diplomatic wrangling aimed at restarting long-stalled nuclear disarmament negotiations.
Seoul will send Wi Sung-lac to meet with North Korea's Ri Yong Ho, a senior South Korean Foreign Ministry official said on Friday.
After months of standoff, the Korean envoys to the international talks aimed at ridding the North of nuclear weapons held a surprise meeting in July on the sidelines of a regional security forum in Indonesia. That meeting raised hopes that the talks, on hold since December 2008, could restart soon.
Chinese Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Jiang Yu said China will host an international symposium to commemorate the sixth anniversary of what was seen at the time as a landmark 2005 agreement in the six-nation nuclear disarmament talks, which include the two Koreas, the United States, China, Russia and Japan.
Representatives from all six participating nations will take part, including Chinese lead negotiator Wu Dawei, Jiang said.
