The U.S.'s top diplomat dealing with North Korean affairs will arrive in Seoul for a three-day visit on Sunday, South Korea's foreign ministry said Friday, in a visit which comes amid growing tensions on the peninsula and just weeks before Pyongyang's self-declared end-of-year deadline for progress in diplomacy expires.
Stephen Biegun will meet with local counterpart Lee Do-hoon -- as well as other top officials -- the day after his arrival, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) said.
