Foreign Minister Kim Sung-hwan will meet with U.S. Deputy Secretary of Defense Ashton Carter in Seoul to discuss the bilateral alliance and North Korea, ministry officials said Tuesday.

Carter will make a two-day visit to Seoul from Wednesday as part of his trip to Asia-Pacific nations and the meeting with Kim will take place Thursday, officials said.

Kim and Carter are expected to “exchange views on the situation of North Korea and discuss policy coordination on the North,” a ministry official said. (Yonhap News)
