Top North and South Korean envoys will meet in Beijing on Wednesday for a second round of talks aimed at restarting stalled six-nation nuclear disarmament negotiations. Seoul's foreign ministry today said the talks will be held between the South's chief nuclear negotiator Wi Sung-Lac and his North Korean counterpart Ri Yong-Ho, which will be their second in three months.Wi and Ri held talks in July on the Indonesian island of Bali, which were followed by a US-North Korean meeting in New York. A senior Seoul government official told Yonhap news agency that at Wednesday's Beijing meeting, the North and South will discuss broader issues like they did in Indonesia to create conditions for resuming the six-way talks. The official said securing the preemptive steps for denuclearization is the goal of this meeting.
