A team of three-nation nuclear experts on Tuesday arrived in Pyongyang for discussions on how to disable the nuclear facilities in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
Zhu Xuhui, an expert from China, said at the airport that the team's main task is to examine the nuclear facilities at Yongbyon and discuss the measures of disabling nuclear facilities in the DPRK.
"It was planned to go to Yongbyon on Tuesday, but we still have a further discussion on details this evening," said an official from the DPRK General Nuclear Bureau on condition of anonymity.
"The team is going to leave Pyongyang on Saturday," he added.
The team includes seven experts from the United States, one from China and one from Russia.
The U.S. group, headed by Sung Kim, a U.S. State Department official, arrived in Pyongyang after crossing the border between South Korea and the DPRK at the truce village of Panmunjom at 11:00 a.m. local time (0200 GMT) on Tuesday.
The Chinese expert and Russian expert arrived here by plane.
The experts team visited the DPRK at Pyongyang's invitation, which was described as a "significant step toward denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula" by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill last Friday.
