Stephen Biegun, U.S. special representative for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) affairs, will make a three-day visit to South Korea from Sunday, according to the Seoul ministry.
Biegun will meet on Monday with Lee Do-hoon, South Korea's special representative for the Korean Peninsula peace and security affairs.
During the meeting, Lee and Biegun will exchange in-depth opinions about recent situation on the Korean Peninsula, while discussing substantive ways to make progress in achieving the complete denuclearization of and the lasting peace settlement in the peninsula, the Seoul ministry noted.
The meeting would come amid the deadlocked denuclearization negotiations between Pyongyang and Washington.
