S.Korean, US Presidents to Meet on Nuclear Issue in June

South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun will meet US President George W. Bush in Washington on June 10 to discuss ways to coax the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) back to the six-party talks on solving the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula, South Korean Yonhap News Agency quoted informed source as reporting on Tuesday.

"President Roh's Washington visit will be a working visit which will not involve any other functions than the proposed summit meeting between the two leaders," the source said, adding Roh will leave Seoul on June 9 and return home on June 11.

The six-party nuclear talks have been suspended since September last year as Pyongyang refused to be present at the planned fourth round of the talks citing Washington's "hostile" attitude.

Pyongyang declared in February that it suspended participation in the six-party nuclear talks indefinitely.

"We hope the summit meeting will produce a good result if we stress the need to resolve the ... nuclear issue peacefully," the source said.

The Roh-Bush summit, to be the second in seven months, will also address consolidating the Seoul-Washington alliance.

Roh last met Bush in Santiago, Chile, on Nov. 20 last year on the sidelines of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) forum, where they reconfirmed their pledge to resolve the nuclear issue peacefully through the six-party talks.
