Two senior US officials will arrive in Japan on Sunday to meet with top
Japanese officials over the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, Kyodo News reported
yesterday.
During their two days' stay, U.S. Undersecretary of State for Political
Affairs Nicholas Burns and Undersecretary of State for Arms Control and
International Security Robert Joseph will hold talks with Chief Cabinet
Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki, Foreign Minister Taro Aso and other Japanese
officials to prepare for the resumption of the six-party talks, according to
Japanese Foreign Ministry's press secretary Mitsuo Sakaba.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) agreed on Tuesday to return
to the talks, which was suspended about a year ago.
