   By Lee Chi-dong
SEOUL, Feb. 24 (Yonhap) -- South Korean Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan was to leave for Beijing on Tuesday for talks with senior Chinese officials on the latest North Korean missile threat and ways to promote the Seoul-Beijing "strategic cooperative partnership," Yu's aides said.

Yu, accompanied by Seoul's top nuclear negotiator Kim Sook in the two-day trip, will also discuss how to break a deadlock in the six-way talks on Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions. China hosts the disarmament talks whose other members are the United States, Russia, and Japan.
