Following North Korea's recent missile tests... Washington's nuclear envoy Stephen Biegun has just arrived in Seoul,... to talk with his South Korean counterparts on solidifying security cooperation between South Korea, Japan and the U.S.
On Wednesday, the U.S. point-man on North Korea will likely ask South Korea to extend its military intelligence sharing agreement with Japan.
