New Mexico Governor Bill Richardson will wrap up his four-day trip to North Korea and cross over to South Korea via the truce village of Panmunjeom on Wednesday.

Richardson, who is also a Democratic presidential candidate, will enter the South with the remains of six American soldiers killed in the Korean War.

Richardson is scheduled to brief South Korean officials on his Pyongyang visit and hold a news conference at the U.S. Embassy in Seoul.

During his stay in the communist state, Richardson met with North Korea’s top nuclear negotiator Kim Kye-kwan and discussed the initial steps in Pyongyang’s nuclear dismantlement as well as the transfer of North Korean funds from the Banco Delta Asia bank in Macao.

Meanwhile, the North’s state-run Korean Central News Agency said Richardson and his delegation also met with Vice President of North Korea's Supreme People's Assembly Kim Yong-dae on Tuesday.

The Associated Press said Director for Asian affairs at the National Security Council Victor Cha, who accompanied Richardson, urged the North to swiftly implement the February 13th nuclear accord when Richardson met with Kim Kye-kwan.
