Japan Ponders Direct Talks with N. Korea
Japanese Foreign Minister Seiji Maehara will tell his South Korean counterpart Kim Sung-hwan in Seoul on Saturday that Tokyo is mulling direct talks with Pyongyang, a diplomatic source said Thursday.

"The government will find out in the meeting why he mentioned the possibility of talks with the North," the source explained.

The foreign ministers' meeting had been originally scheduled for Friday but was delayed for a day due to a Cabinet reshuffle in Japan.
