Sung Kim talks to reporters upon arrival at the Incheon International Airport, South Korea, 21 Apr 2008The team, led by Sung Kim - the top U.S. State Department expert on the Koreas - will stay in North Korea for three days to discuss the North's nuclear declaration and how to verify it.

Six-country talks on ending the North's nuclear activities have been stalled for months, after Pyongyang missed a December 31 deadline to give a declaration of its nuclear programs in return for diplomatic concessions and energy aid.

The six-party agreement was hammered out among the two Koreas, the United States, Japan, Russia and China.
