SEOUL. Jan 31 (Interfax) - South Korea's Deputy Foreign Minister and top nuclear envoy Lim Sung-nam will visit Moscow next week to hold talks with his Russian counterpart Igor Morgulov and other Russian Foreign Ministry officials, a South Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman said.
According to earlier reports, U.S. special envoy to North Korea Glyn Davis is expected to arrive in Moscow on January 31.
Russia and the United State are parties in the six-nation talks to settle North Korea's nuclear problem, which also involves China, Japan and the two Koreas.
The six nations have been working to denuclearize the Korean peninsula since 2003. Pyongyang announced its withdrawal from the talks in 2009.
Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said in an interview with the Japanese television and radio broadcasting corporation NHK on Sunday that the six-party talks could resume as early as the first half of 2012.
