The chief nuclear negotiators of South Korea and China are scheduled to meet in Seoul on Sept. 29 to discuss ways of resuming the stalled six-way talks on North Korea's nuclear weapons program, Seoul's Foreign Ministry officials said Saturday.
China's Wu Dawei will visit South Korea on Thursday for talks with South Korea's Chun Yung-woo in Seoul the following day, the officials said.
The discussions between Chun and Wu will be focused on the result of South Korea-U.S. consultations now under way in New York to map out the so-called "common and broad approach" to solving North Korean problems, said the officials.
The new approach to the North Korean problems was agreed upon at a summit between South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun and U.S. President George W. Bush in Washington on Sept. 14.
