Bosworth: Nork Nuclear Talks 'Will Resume'
Washington's main envoy on North Korean issues says the North appears ready to get talking again about getting rid of nuclear weapons. U.S. Envoy Stephen Bosworth is not disclosing any dates, but says he does expect North Korea will rejoin multinational talks aimed at ending its nuclear capabilities. "We, the United States, and I think I can speak here for the Republic of Korea as well, are convinced that the six party talks will eventually resume... hopefully in the relatively near future," he said.Bosworth spoke to reporters as he departed South Korea's main airport for Tokyo Friday. He says there is "no higher priority" for the United States and its partners than getting rid of nuclear weapons in North Korea. "But we also recognize that it will be important to begin discussions on questions regarding the peace treaty, establishment of diplomatic relations, and the issues of economic and energy assistance to North Korea," he said.
