1. Special Representative for Korean Peninsula Peace and Security, Chun Young-woo, is scheduled to visit 
Washington DC from August 30 to 31, for consultations with Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and 
Pacific Affairs, Christopher Hill, who is the U.S. chief delegate to the Six-Party Talks. 

2. Close consultations are underway between the chief delegates of the ROK and the United States to the 
Six-Party Talks.  Following the last consultations between the chief delegates to the Six-Party Talks on the 
sidelines of ARF in late July, the upcoming consultations are expected to provide an opportunity to exchange 
views on the current status regarding the North Korean nuclear issue and have a wide-range of discussions 
on cooperative measures between the two countries.
