North Korea Wants to Resume Nuke Talks Saturday, December 27, 2003 SEOUL — North Korea confirmed Saturday that it is willing to hold talks with the United States and five other nations early next year on ending its nuclear weapons program. A top Chinese diplomat met with North Korean officials this week, and the North's official news agency, KCNA, said both sides agreed to set up a second round of the six-nation negotiations. "Both sides ... expressed their willingness to make appropriate preparations so that talks can resume at an early date next year to continue the process for a peaceful solution to the nuclear issue," KCNA quoted Chinese Vice Foreign Minister Wang Yi (search) as saying. China's official Xinhua News Agency (search) carried a similar report on Friday. The United States, China, Japan, Russia and the two Koreas held a first round of talks on North Korea's nuclear development in Beijing (search) in August. The meetings ended without much progress or an agreement on a date for new talks. North Korea says it will dismantle its nuclear programs in exchange for a U.S. security guarantee and aid. But before making any concessions, Washington wants North Korea to give up its nuclear ambitions. foxnews.com
