JAKARTA (AFP) - Top US nuclear envoy Christopher Hill arrived in Jakarta Saturday for four days of talks with Indonesian officials, an embassy spokesman said.
Hill was expected to meet Foreign Minister Hassan Wirajuda who has said he would be seeking a briefing from Hill on the progress of North Korea's nuclear disarmament.
The US envoy would be in Indonesia until Tuesday, US embassy spokesman Max Kwak told AFP.
"Hill will be meeting with government officials to talk about bilateral and global issues," said Kwak, adding that a formal agenda had not been finalised.
Hill is also US assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific affairs.
Indonesia, which has diplomatic ties with North Korea, has been playing an active role in trying to find a peaceful solution to the Pyongyang stand-off.
The two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States are parties to the talks aimed at persuading Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear ambitions.
