Staff Reporter

Korea Society President Evans Revere, former U.S. Defense Secretary William Perry and former U.S. Ambassador to Seoul Donald Gregg will visit Pyongyang via the truce village of Panmunjeom on Feb. 26, according to a report.

``We will go to Pyongyang through Panmumjeom by land on Feb. 26 and return to Seoul on Feb. 27,'' Revere was quoted as saying by Yonhap news agency Wednesday.

Revere, who served as deputy assistant secretary of state, and the two former U.S. officials will attend the inauguration ceremony of President Lee Myung-bak in Seoul on Feb. 25 and the New York Philharmonic performance on Feb. 26 in Pyongyang.

During a two-day visit, the U.S. delegation will likely meet North Korean officials, probably Kim Kye-gwan, the top North Korean nuclear negotiator. Revere requested a meeting with Kim, the report said.

Revere said the fixed schedule includes attending the performance, and expressed great anticipation of hearing the U.S. national anthem in Pyongyang.
