South Korean Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan will have talks with his American counterpart Condoleezza Rice next Tuesday over bilateral ties and nuclear issues on the Korean Peninsula, South Korean Foreign Ministry saidon Tuesday.
"Minister Yu is scheduled to attend the opening ceremony of the63rd session of the U.N. General Assembly on Sept. 23 and an ensuing luncheon hosted by the U.N. Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon," said Foreign Ministry Spokesman Moon Tae-young.
"Foreign ministerial talks with the U.S. and other major nations such as China and Russia will be held later in the day," he added.
Yu and Rice plan to sign a memorandum of understanding (MOU) on a student exchange program agreed by South Korean President Lee Myung-bak and his U.S. counterpart George W. Bush during their summit meeting last month, local media said.
The spokesman refused to reveal details on the MOU and other agenda items.
South Korea's Yonhap News Agency said that Yu and Rice will also discuss ways of moving forward the stalled denuclearization process in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
