The US envoy for DPRK policy visited the Republic of Korea to discuss the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's nuclear program and other related issues, Seoul's foreign ministry said on Friday.

Sung Kim, who assumed the post of US special representative for DPRK policy last month, arrived in the ROK on Thursday for a five-day visit.

He spoke on Friday with Hwang Joon-kook, Seoul's special representative for peace and security affairs on the Korean Peninsula, to exchange views on the DPRK's nuclear program and other related issues.
