SEOUL - Top nuclear envoys of Repulic of Korea(ROK) and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) will meet next week in Beijing for talks over denuclearization, Seoul's foreign ministry said Friday.

The meeting will be the second such inter-Korean dialogue following the rare talks in July between Seoul's Wi Sung-lac and Pyongyang's Ri Yong-ho on the sidelines of a regional security forum in Indonesia.

ROKchief nuclear envoy Wi Sung-lac will leave for Beijing next Tuesday, the foreign ministry here said, but adding the two sides are still scheduling the meeting.

At the meeting in Bali, Indonesia, the first such meeting in two years, the top envoys agreed to further their efforts to resume the long-stalled six-party talks aimed at dismantling Pyongyang's nuclear program. The talks were last held in December 2008.

Following the Bali meeting, DPRK Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye- gwan traveled to New York for talks with his US counterpart Stephen Bosworth, raising hopes nuclear negotiations might resume soon.
