   A flurry of diplomatic efforts between China, the United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea have raised hopes for the release of US citizen Kenneth Bae and the resumption of stalled Six-Party Talks.

  The US State Department announced on Tuesday that Robert King, special envoy1 for DPRK human rights issues, will travel to Pyongyang on Friday at the invitation of the government of the DPRK, on a humanitarian2 mission to secure Bae's release.
  Bae was arrested in the DPRK in November 2012 and sentenced in April to 15 years of hard labor3 for hostile acts against the country.
  "King will request the DPRK pardon Mr Bae and grant him special amnesty on humanitarian grounds, so that he can be reunited with his family and seek medical treatment," the statement said.
  King's trip will not be directly connected to the nuclear issue, Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency quoted an unnamed official of the Republic of Korea Ministry4 of Foreign Affairs and Trade as saying on Wednesday.
  But the "possibility cannot be ruled out" that the US special envoy will serve as a messenger, bringing information from the DPRK to the White House regarding the situation on the peninsula, said Huang Youfu, a professor of Korean studies at Minzu University of China in Beijing.
  "We cannot expect too much from his role as a messenger," Huang said.
  While King travels to the DPRK, Danny Russel, US assistant secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, will visit Beijing, Seoul and Tokyo next week to discuss bilateral5 and regional issues, including the latest situation on the Korean Peninsula, Yonhap said.
  It will be Russel's first visit to Northeast Asia since he was officially appointed early this month. Previously6, Russel served on the White House National Security Council.
  Officials from the US, the ROK and Japan have insisted that Pyongyang show more sincerity7 by first renouncing8 its nuclear program before they consider restarting talks.
  Scott Snyder, a senior fellow for peninsular studies and director of the Program on US-Korea Policy at the US Council on Foreign Relations, believes Washington is still waiting for Pyongyang to take the necessary steps to create conditions for resuming the Six-Party Talks.
  "I do not know if Russel's trip will result in the DPRK taking these steps," he said.
  Tensions on the peninsula flared9 following the DPRK's nuclear test in February - its third.
  On Monday, Wu Dawei, China's special envoy for Korean Peninsula affairs, arrived in Pyongyang with hopes of restarting the Six-Party Talks and further improving the situation on the peninsula.
