The nuclear envoys of South Korea and the United States will hold talks on Thursday in Indonesia to discuss the state of affairs on the Korean Peninsula.

South Korea's Special Representative for Korean Peninsula Peace and Security Affairs Noh Kyu-duk will hold a closed meeting with his U.S. counterpart Sung Kim on Thursday morning in Jakarta. The meeting comes after North Korea said it test-fired a new hypersonic missile.  

Noh arrived on Wednesday in Indonesia, for which Kim is concurrently serving as U.S. ambassador.

Before departing, the South Korean envoy said that the two sides will share their assessments of the situation and hold in-depth discussions on ways to deal with it.  

He added that they will also discuss President Moon Jae-in's recent proposal to declare a formal end to the Korean War.
