Washington [US], December 7 (ANI/Sputnik): US Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun will visit South Korea this week, the US State Department announced in a statement.

"Deputy Secretary of State and Special Representative for North Korea Stephen E. Biegun will travel to Seoul December 8-11.

Last month, South Korean media reported that Biegun was expected to visit South Korea in December as part of a multi-nation Asia tour and was likely to be accompanied by Alex Wong, the US State Department's deputy envoy for North Korean affairs.

The US-North Korea negotiations have been in limbo since last year and the inter-Korean dialogue has been stalled since June when Pyongyang cut all communications lines with Seoul after tensions over propaganda leaflets sent in from the South. (ANI/Sputnik)
