A delegation of U.S. officials touring Asia to discuss North Korea’s second nuclear test will meet with South Korean officials for talks on Wednesday.

The delegation, led by Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg, arrived in South Korea on Tuesday. The U.S. officials will open meetings with key Seoul officials Wednesday, including Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan and presidential secretary for foreign affairs and security, Kim Sung-hwan.

The officials are expected to hold comprehensive discussions on the fast-changing situation on the Korean Peninsula in the wake of the North’s recent nuclear test.

In particular, Stuart Levey, the Treasury Department’s undersecretary for terrorism and financial intelligence, is expected to call for Seoul’s cooperation for the drawing up of financial sanctions on the communist state.

According to a senior government official, Seoul supports strict restrictions on the provision of financial resources or materials related to the North’s development of nuclear weapons and missiles.

Shortly after arriving in South Korea, Steinberg told reporters that the U.N. Security Council and the Northeast Asian region must work together to convince the North to change its current course.
