Report: Nations to Meet Again on N. Korea

[newyawker99]

The United States said Thursday it would hold no formal one-on-one talks with North Korea at a six-nation summit to resolve a dispute over the communist nation's nuclear program. A Russian report, meanwhile, said all six may meet again in two months.

U.S. officials played down the importance of an informal meeting the day before between the top U.S. and North Korean envoys on the sidelines of the talks.

That half-hour meeting between Assistant Secretary of State James Kelly and North Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Kim Yong Il ended four months of official silence between the two nations.

But a U.S. Embassy spokesman in Beijing said Thursday that "there will not be any separate formal bilateral meetings with the North Koreans." The official spoke on customary condition of anonymity.

Is anyone else worried about the No Korea situation?
