[corksean]

SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Il told a visiting Chinese envoy that his government will return to American-sponsored nuclear disarmament talks if the United States shows ``sincerity,'' the communist state's official news agency reported Tuesday.

Kim spoke of his government's position in the escalating nuclear standoff with the United States and its allies when he met Wang Jiarui, head of the Chinese Communist Party's International Department, according to the North's state-run Korean Central News Agency.
