US Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, who leads US negotiations on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, is in S. Korea now, closely monitoring the gatherings in N. Korea.

S. Korean delegation reportedly brought the message agreed upon during Bush-Roh meeting on June 10th at the White House. They would be bringing the response back to Mr. Hill. It is rather unusual that they are tight-lipped about what went on. They usually love to publicize anything construed as a good news. Either they got the bad news, or were urged to keep quiet by somebody(Americans?).

US nuclear negotiator arrives in Seoul

US Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, who leads US negotiations on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, arrived in Seoul on Wednesday for a five- day visit here.

The former US ambassador to South Korea will hold talks with Deputy Foreign Minister Song Min-soon and National Security Advisor Kwon Jin-ho on Thursday, said South Korean national Yonhap News Agency.

Hill's trip comes days after South Korean President Roh Moo- hyun and US President George W. Bush met in Washington last week and reaffirmed that they would continue to pursue a diplomatic solution to the nuclear issue.

Hill, who served as ambassador to Seoul before assuming the current post earlier in the year, is expected to spend the rest of his five-day stay with his family that has remained in Seoul, according to Yonhap.

Something tells me that a lot is at stake for the outcome of this Kim-Chung meeting.
