South Korea is preparing for a possible visit by US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice next week in the wake of North Korea's claimed nuclear test, a South Korean official told The Associated Press. The official said Friday that talks were under way between the countries but final details of the trip had yet to be confirmed.
The move would reflect a high-level effort by regional powers to stave off negative consequences after the North's claim to have detonated its first-ever nuclear bomb underground Monday. (AP)
