SEOUL - South Korea's chief nuclear negotiator will visit officials in Washington on Thursday amid flaring tensions with North Korea after Pyongyang blew up an inter-Korean liaison office and threatened military action.

South Korea's presidential press secretary said Mr Lee's trip had been planned for a long time, dismissing media reports that he was visiting as a special envoy. Tensions have grown, with Pyongyang taking issue over defectors in the South sending propaganda leaflets into North Korea.
