Japan, U.S., S. Korea foreign ministers to meet Sat. in Bali+

     TOKYO, July 19 Kyodo -
     The foreign ministers of Japan, the United States and South Korea will meet in Bali, Indonesia, on Saturday to discuss their response to North Korea's nuclear ambitions on the sidelines of a regional security meeting, Japanese officials said Tuesday.
     The trilateral meeting, which will bring together Japanese Foreign Minister Takeaki Matsumoto, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and South Korean Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Kim Sung Hwan, was originally scheduled for Friday but finally set for Saturday, the officials said.
     The foreign ministers of the three countries last met in Washington last December and agreed to enhance their policy coordination in dealing with the North, which launched a deadly artillery attack on a South Korean island the previous month.
     The three-way talks will be held on the fringes of an annual ministerial meeting of the 27-member ASEAN Regional Forum, in which North Korean Foreign Minister Pak Ui Chun will also take part.
