Stephen Bosworth, U.S. special envoy on North Korea policy, today begins a visit to South Korea less than a week after Kim Jong Il’s regime rejected a proposed summit to discuss the peninsula’s nuclear situation.
During the three-day trip, Bosworth will meet with National Security Advisor Chun Yung Woo, Unification Minister Hyun In Taek and Wi Sung Lac, South Korea’s chief envoy to the nuclear talks on North Korea’s nuclear program, the State Department said in a May 13 statement on its website.
