It might be the new year, but diplomacy continues between the United States and North Korea.<br />U.S. Special representative Stephen Biegun has been meeting with officials here in South Korea since he arrived on Sunday.<br />And now we know that he'll be going to the North tomorrow... to meet with his counterparts there.<br />Our Foreign ministry correspondent Lee Ji-won is on the phone with the latest on when and where that meeting will be happening.<br />Jiwon, fill us in.<br /><br /> Devin, the U.S. State Department released a media note yesterday, saying that Biegun will travel to Pyeongyang on February 6th to meet with his North Korean counterpart Kim Hyok-chol.<br /> It said the meeting is to prepare for the upcoming second summit between North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and U.S. President Donald Trump, and also to try and make more progress on the commitments the two leaders made at their Singapore summit...<br /> namely: complete denuclearization, transforming North Korea-U.S. relations, and building a lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula. <br /> We do not yet know which route Biegun will be taking to get to Pyeongyang tomorrow.<br />By car,... it would take around 4 hours, so there's a possibility that Biegun will fly. <br />And, according to a South Korean official, there's a high chance that Biegun will be spending the night in the North. <br /><br /> So Ji-won, the next Kim-Trump summit is probably just weeks away. Specifically, what can you tell us about what the two sides will be talking about tomorrow in Pyeongyang?<br /><br /> Sure Devin. Biegun said a few days ago, that they will be discussing the corresponding measures Washington will take in exchange for Pyeongyang's commitments to dismantle its nuclear facilities.<br /> Kim Jong-un, in his Pyeongyang summit with South Korean President Moon Jae-in, promised to dismantle and destroy the Yeongbyeong nuclear facility.<br /> Kim had also talked about inviting international experts to verify the complete destruction of the missle test site at Dongchang-ri and the nuclear test site at Punggye-ri.<br />It's said that some of the measures being considered by the U.S.... are establishing a joint liaison office, declaring an end to the Korean War,... and providing humanitarian aid.<br />So it'll likely be a discussion of what each side is willing to give and take.<br /><br /> Now as for the summit, President Trump recently said that the time and venue has been decided, but he hasn't announced either of those yet.<br />It's widely speculated that it'll be in the Vietnamese city of Danang on around February 25th. <br />So with that in place, Biegun is expected to be discussing the logistics and final details of the summit with Kim Hyok-chol on Wednesday. <br />
