A South Korean delegation headed by Deputy Foreign Minister Lee Soo-Hyuck arrived in the Chinese capital Tuesday for the six-party talks on the North Korean nuclear program.Prior to leaving for Beijing, Lee had a final consultation Monday with James Kelly, US assistant secretary of state, and Mitoji Yabunaka, Japan's top foreign ministry official for Asia.
"I hope that this consultation will bring fruitful results for the preparation of the second round of talks," Lee was quoted by Yonhap news agency as saying.
The South Korean delegation is the last to arrive for the six-party talks starting Wednesday.
