SEOUL, Dec. 26 (Yonhap) -- South Korea and Japan will hold "strategic dialogue" between their vice foreign ministers in Seoul next week on the North Korean nuclear program and other issues of mutual concern, Seoul's foreign ministry said Friday.
In the meeting between Vice Foreign Minister Kwon Jong-rak and his counterpart
Mitoji Yabunaka on Monday, they will have "in-depth discussions on the North
Korean nuclear issue, the regional security condition, and ways to cooperate in
