Nuclear Talks May Restart
Apparently an agreement has been reached to resume the North Korean nuclear talks:
Leaders of the two Koreas agreed Saturday to resume talks between their nations that broke down last summer and to discuss the international standoff over the North’s nuclear weapons ambitions, an Indonesian official said.
The agreements on reviving the stalled talks came as Washington’s top envoy on the nuclear dispute, the chief U.S. negotiator in the multinational talks, Christopher Hill, arrived in Seoul for meetings with South Korean officials.
South Korean Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan and North Korea’s No. 2 man, Kim Yong Nam, met on the sidelines of an Asian-African summit in Jakarta, said Jacob Tobing, Indonesia’s ambassador to South Korea. It was the second meeting at the summit between the two leaders, who addressed such key issues as attempts to persuade the North to return to six-party talks aimed at getting Pyongyang to suspend its nuclear program.
The North Koreans have agreed to continue to continue nuclear talks? It must be true because the Norks wouldn’t agree to something just to back out of it later would they?
