They will have a dinner meeting on November 7, with full talks on November 8. An anonymous diplomatic source in South Korea suggested that Choi Son Hee, a North Korean Foreign Officer with extensive experience negotiating with Americans concerning nuclear issues may accompany Kim Yong Chol. Further, that efforts to schedule the first meeting of the US and North Korean working level negotiators, Stephen Beigun and Choi Son Hee, which has been delayed, are also in progress.
