Russia will host talks between the DPRK and South Korea this week in preparation for larger negotiations about the DPRK's suspected nuclear weapons program, a Russian diplomat was quoted as saying Sunday.

Deputy Foreign Minister Alexander Losyukov said from Beijing that the talks in Moscow would begin Tuesday, the ITAR-Tass news agency reported. The report did not say which Korean officials would take part.

Losyukov was in China to discuss the particulars of six-nation talks expected later this month in Beijing. The negotiations will include Russia, Japan, China, the United States and the two Koreas.

Those talks are aimed at defusing a 10-month standoff over U.S. allegations that Pyongyang is trying to develop nuclear weapons in violation of a 1994 agreement.
