Kelly to fly to North directly from Seoul

Assistant U.S. Secretary of State James Kelly will travel directly from Seoul to Pyeongyang over the Yellow Sea on Thursday, leading a team of officials for talks with North Korea, a Seoul official said Sunday.

The same route will likely be used for the return trip, the official said, but that has not been confirmed.

The U.S. team will be in Tokyo and Seoul before the Pyeongyang visit, which is scheduled to end on Saturday.

The Seoul official said that Mr. Kelly would meet with government officials here for consultations on the U.S. position toward the North.

There was no information that he will be carrying a letter for North Korean leader Kim Jong-il from President George W. Bush, he added.
