South Korean special envoys to visit North Korea

Seoul (Web Desk): A high-level delegation of South Korean officials will travel to North Korea on Monday to discuss improving relations on the peninsula and possible talks between Washington and Pyongyang, South Korea’s presidential Blue House announced on Sunday.

According to media reports, after the two-day visit to North Korea, the special envoys will travel to the United States to brief officials there on their discussions in Pyongyang.

The delegation will be led by National Intelligence Service (NIS) chief Suh Hoon and National Security Office (NSO) head Chung Eui-yong and comes after senior North Korean officials visited South Korea during last month’s Winter Olympics.

South Korea’s presidential Blue House said in a statement that National Security Office (NSO) head Chung Eui-yong and National Intelligence Service (NIS) chief Suh Hoon, a veteran of past negotiations with the North, will be among the 10-member South Korean delegation visiting Pyongyang.
