The US envoy for North Korea arrived in Pyongyang Wednesday for talks with his North Korean counterpart on the upcoming bilateral summit.
Special Representative Stephen Biegun left Seoul earlier in the day to fly to the North Korean capital where he will meet his counterpart, Kim Hyok-chol.

Biegun took a plane to Pyongyang from the US Air Base in Osan, south of Seoul, around 9 a.m., and arrived at the Sunan International Airport in North Korea at 10:00 a.m., according to Tass.
