Top presidential security adviser likely to meet with U.S. envoy to North this week

SEOUL, Aug. 7 (Yonhap) -- South Korea's top presidential security adviser Chun Yung-woo will likely meet with the U.S. special envoy on North Korea when the Seoul official travels to the United States this week, sources here said Sunday.
At the invitation of Tom Donilon, national security adviser to the Obama administration, Chun is to depart for Washington, D.C., on Monday to meet with several U.S. officials to discuss the future direction of their efforts to denuclearize North Korea.
During the nine-day visit, the Seoul presidential adviser will likely meet with Stephen Bosworth, the U.S. envoy to the North who participated in his country's high-level talks with the communist country in New York in late July.
"Although Bosworth is currently on vacation, he has scheduled a meeting with Chun as far as I know," said one person who is familiar with the matter.
Chun's meeting followed the rare U.S.-North Korea meeting that both countries called "constructive."
In a bid to fine-tune Seoul and Washington's stances toward the resumption of the six-party talks to denuclearize the North, the Seoul official will also meet William Burns, deputy secretary of state, and Michele Flournoy, under secretary of defense, as well as Bosworth and Donilon, the sources said.
