The agency said the sides have not made a final decision yet but are coordinating this date to discuss plans for implementing measures for the second stage of North Korea's denuclearization.
A group of nuclear experts from the United States, Russia, and China arrived in North Korea Tuesday on a five-day visit to carry out inspections in the country, and draw up recommendations for shutting down all the country's remaining nuclear facilities.
The experts will inspect the five-megawatt reactor at Yongbyon, fuel production, and recycling facilities. This is the first visit by foreign experts since a delegation from the UN nuclear watchdog, the International Atomic Energy Agency, confirmed the shutdown of the country's only operational rector in July.
In exchange for North Korea's denuclearization and information on all its nuclear programs, the Communist state will receive 950,000 metric tons of fuel oil for its thermal power-generating plants.
The February agreement was considered a breakthrough following more than three years of negotiations after Pyongyang withdrew from the Non-Proliferation Treaty in 2003 and conducted a nuclear bomb test last October.
