Differences between U.S. and China could delay talks on North Korea nuclear program

(12-04) 14:51 PST WASHINGTON (AP) --

China's insistence that the United States give security assurances to North Korea once it renounces nuclear weapons could delay a second round of negotiations with Pyongyang, a Bush administration official said Thursday.

In the meantime, the administration is holding talks at the State Department with Japanese and South Korean delegations in an effort to reach a joint position. The official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said the views of the three allies were fairly close. He also credited China with trying to make progress on the North Korean program.

The talks had been expected to convene Dec. 17. A State Department spokesman, Adam Ereli, said this week that the goal remained to hold talks before the end of the month. On Thursday, Ereli said the aim was talks "in the near future."
