Title: U.S. chief nuclear envoy says N. Korea needs to be serious about denuclearization for talks to restart
Washington′s top nuclear envoy Sung Kim is in Seoul for talks with his South Korean counterpart Hwang Joon-kook.
Much of the talk is focused on North Korea and its nuclear program.
Our Lee Ji-yoon has more on what Kim said about he long-stalled six-party nuclear talks. Washington is NOT lowering the bar for restarting nuclear talks.
U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Policy Sung Kim says the fate of the stalled six-party talks depends on Pyongyang.
"It will be a mistake for us to rush back to negotiations unless we can have some confidence that the North Koreans are ready to work with us in a sincere and serious manner toward a complete and verifiable denuclearization."
The former U.S. ambassador to South Korea met with his South Korean counterpart Hwang Joon-kook on Friday in Seoul.
There, Kim said, the U.S. wants to resume negotiations, and that its diplomatic doors are open to North Korea, but that the North has refused to walk through them.
The meeting between the nuclear envoys from Seoul and Washington follows a visit by North Korean special envoy Choe Ryong-hae to Russia last month.
There, Choe reportedly said Pyongyang was ready to resume the talks on its nuclear program,... without preconditions.
Next week, Kim will travel to Japan and China, both participants of the six-party talks,.. to discuss the North Korean issue once again.
