WASHINGTON - A top State Department specialist on Korean affairs is going to North Korea for nuclear discussions, the United States said yesterday, in a flurry of diplomatic activity by American officials working to break an impasse in six-nation disarmament talks.
State Department spokesman Sean McCormack told reporters that Sung Kim was scheduled to have meetings in Pyongyang, the North's capital, tomorrow. He called the meetings part of discussions to rid the North of its nuclear- weapons programs.
A senior U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss the negotiations, said Kim was expected to pick up documents from the North Koreans, including some related to the country's plutonium program.
