They will have a dinner meeting on November 7, with full talks on November 8. An anonymous diplomatic source 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, a South Korean government related source reported that efforts to schedule a meeting of the US and North Korean working level negotiators, Stephen Beigun, the US special envoy, and Choi Son Hee, which have been delayed, are also in progress.
