North Korean official are reportedly set to meet in Geneva with U.S. policy experts for the first time since Donald Trump's surprise election victory earlier this month.

Various diplomatic sources report Pyongyang's Director-General for North American Affairs Choe Son-hui and Deputy Ambassador to the United Nations Chang Il-hun will represent North Korea Thursday afternoon local time. 

Joel Wit, editor of the specialist North Korea portal "38 North,"  and Robert Einhorn, senior fellow at the Brookings Institution, will unofficially convey U.S. positions.

With no formal diplomatic ties between North Korea and the United States, so-called "track two" unofficial meetings play an important role in exchanging viewpoints between the two countries.

North Korea has yet to react to Trump's election officially via its state-controlled media.
