U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is due in Seoul, a day after the two Koreas held their highest-level talks in six years. Kerry arrives in South Korea on the first leg of an Asian tour that will also take in Beijing and Jakarta. He is expected to meet President Park Geun-hye and be briefed on the inter-Korean talks. An official in Seoul said Wednesday's talks had failed to narrow differences between North and South Korea.
