Lim Sung-nam, Seoul`s top envoy to stalled talks aimed at ending the DPRK`s nuclear program, is scheduled to meet with his Chinese counterpart Wu Dawei to discuss situation on the state of affairs on the Korean peninsula following Kim`s sudden death, the foreign ministry here said in a statement.
The ministry said the two envoys are also expected to discuss coordinating joint strategies to resume the stalled six-party nuclear talks, last held in 2008. The talks also involve the United States, Japan and Russia.
Kim`s reported death on Dec. 17 came amid renewed efforts to revive the moribund negotiations.
Pyongyang and Washington recently held two rounds of rare denuclearization talks, with a third round expected in the near future following their separate talks on food aid.
