Senior negotiators for North and South Korea were likely to meet in Beijing to discuss Pyongyang's contentious nuclear weapons programme, a news report said Friday, according to dpa. The meeting could take place as early as next week, South Korea's Yonhap News Agency reported, citing a senior Seoul official. South Korean envoy Wi Sung Lac and his counterpart Ri Yong Ho of North Korea last spoke on the sidelines of an international conference in Indonesia in July, the first such meeting in more than two years. -- SPA
