A high-level South Korean delegation is set to visit North Korea on Monday afternoon in a bid to persuade Kim Jong Un to start talks with the U.S. and stave off a potential conflict over his nuclear program.
South Korean President Moon Jae-in was sending his national-security adviser and top spy on the two-day mission to Pyongyang, presidential spokesman Yoon Young-chan told a news briefing Sunday. The team -- led by National Security Office head Chung Eui-yong and National Intelligence Service chief Suh Hoon -- planned to discuss U.S.-North Korean talks “aimed at denuclearization” and inter-Korean relations, Yoon said.
