North Korea Agrees To Resume 6 Party Talks
North Korea has agreed to restart negotiations to end their nuclear program this month:
The six-nation talks will resume July 25, the North’s official Korean Central News Agency said Saturday.
The top envoys to the negotiations from the United States and North Korea — U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill and North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan — met Saturday in the Chinese capital, KCNA said.
“The U.S. side clarified its official stand to recognize (North Korea) as a sovereign state, not to invade it and hold bilateral talks within the framework of the six-party talks,” KCNA reported.
It looks like China put some leverage on the North Koreans to continue the negotiations. I will be very surprised if anything comes out of the July 25th meeting with the North Koreans.
