Wu Dawei, China's chief delegate to the six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear ambitions, will discuss the issue with chief Japanese delegate Kenichiro Sasae on Wednesday in Tokyo, Foreign Ministry officials said Monday.
The main purpose of the visit by the Chinese vice foreign minister will be to coordinate policies on the nuclear issue with Sasae prior to resumption of the talks planned for next week, the officials said.
Wu and Sasae, director general of the Foreign Ministry's Asian and Oceanian Affairs Bureau, are expected to confirm their countries' position regarding North Korea's insistence that its nuclear programs for peaceful purpose be tolerated.
