STORYLINE:
U-S Secretary of State Colin Powell has arrived in Seoul for talks on policy towards communist North Korea and the U-S-South Korean security alliance.
Powell flew from Hanoi, Vietnam, where he attended an ASEAN regional security forum.
The visit is Powell's first to South Korea as a member of the Bush administration.
Powell is scheduled to meet President Kim Dae-jung, Foreign Minister Han Seung-soo and Unification Minister Lim Dong-won before leaving for Beijing on Saturday.
Half a dozen anti-U-S demonstrators scuffled with police outside the U-S embassy in Seoul.
They were demanding the withdrawal of the 37-thousand American troops stationed in South Korea as a deterrent to North Korea.
Before leaving Hanoi, Powell said the United States was prepared to "meet any time and any place" and have an open agenda once North Korea decides to resume security negotiations.
In early June, U-S President George W Bush ordered his national security team to resume talks with North Korea, which were started by the previous administration.
Bush wants to expand the focus beyond Pyongyang's missile programme to include its large conventional force deployed near the border with South Korea.
North Korea hasn't officially responded to Bush's proposals, but its media has criticised them.
Angered by what it felt was a tougher U-S policy, North Korea cut off all official contact with South Korea this year, stalling a reconciliation process that began last year with a historic summit.
Seoul officials said their discussions with Powell will include North Korean leader Kim Jong Il's train trip to Moscow, which began on Thursday.
Russian media said 59-year-old Kim was expected to arrive in Moscow on August 4 for talks with Russian President Vladimir Putin.
Kim's train journey to the Russian capital is expected to take several days.
South Korean officials hope the North Korean leader's visit to Russia might be part of preparations to visit South Korea for a second summit with Kim Dae-jung.
Following last year's summit in Pyongyang, Kim Jong Il promised to make a return trip to South Korea, although no date has been set.
After a somewhat bumpy start with South Korea, Powell said the relationship "is knitted up, and we are moving together."
He said he would reaffirm his strong support for South Korean efforts to reconcile with the North.
