SEOUL (Reuters) - The U.S. envoy for North Korea will visit South Korea this weekend, South Korea's foreign ministry said on Friday, amid a standoff over South Korea-U.S. military exercises that the North has warned could trigger a security crisis.

U.S. special representative for North Korea Sung Kim arrives in Seoul on Saturday for a four-day visit, during which he will meet his South Korean counterpart, Noh Kyu-duk, and other officials, the ministry said.

Shortly after preliminary training for the exercises began last week, the North stopped answering the hotlines. North Korea is staging its own summer exercises but South Korean Defence Minister Suh Wook told legislators there were no unusual military movements from the North, dismissing media reports it was preparing to test fire missiles.
