The U.S. Special Representative for North Korea is coming to South Korea next week for talks on the ongoing diplomatic efforts with the regime.
The U.S. State Department says Stephen Biegun will be in Seoul for two days from Monday.
He'll meet his counterpart, Seoul's special representative for Korean Peninsula peace and security affairs, Lee Do-hoon to discuss ways to achieve the "final, fully verified denuclearization" of North Korea.
Lee visited Washington earlier this week to meet with Biegun so this latest development is arousing speculation a big announcement may be imminent.
