South Korea will likely send a senior-level diplomat to a UN Security Council meeting to be held next week to discuss North Korea's nuclear and missile issues, government sources said Friday.
The ministry-level UNSC meeting, which is to be held in New York on Dec. 15 comes after the North test-fired what it claims to be a new intercontinental ballistic missile late last month.
South Korea's government plans to send Cho Hyun, second vice foreign minister, to the meeting, according to the sources. Cho is in charge of multilateral diplomatic issues at the ministry.
