Kelly will then return to Seoul and Tokyo from Pyongyang to brief the two US allies on his DPRK trip.

The visit was announced by President Bush last week as part of his administration's efforts to resume high-level contacts with Pyongyang, which have been suspended since he was elected US president in January, 2000.

Kelly is reported to be heading a delegation of about 10 US officials from the State Department, the Pentagon and other US governmental agencies.
