The chief of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization will visit South Korea next week to discuss a wide range of issues, including North Korea's growing nuclear and missile threats, the foreign ministry said Friday.
During his three-day trip starting Wednesday, NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg will make a courtesy call to President Moon Jae-in and meet with Foreign Minister Kang Kyung-wha. He is to visit the Demilitarized Zone, which separates South and North Korea, the ministry said. He will also meet other high-ranking officials and experts.

His visit is intended to have "in-depth" discussions on the two sides' coordinated approach toward the North, nonproliferation of weapons of mass destruction, cybersecurity and anti-terrorism, the ministry said.
His trip here will mark the second of its kind by a NATO head since April 2013, when the then-Secretary-General Anders Fogh Rasmussen visited the country.
South Korea has stepped up its official cooperation with NATO as one of its "partners across the globe," along with other countries. (Yonhap)
