Six party talks on North Korea's nuclear program resume
BEIJING _ Top delegates from North Korea and the United States held an informal meeting here on Monday to "compare notes'' prior to Tuesday’s official opening of the six-party talks on Pyongyang's nuclear programs.
During the 80-minute meeting at the Diaoyutai state guesthouse, the two sides checked each other's willingness for progress in the fourth round of the talks, which resumed after a 13-month hiatus a Seoul official said on a condition of anonymity.
"The two sides still need to narrow their opinion gap,’’ he said. "But they have a common goal. They want to achieve a substantive result this time. They will continue holding talks and try to find a solution.’’
