Koreas talk after breakthrough meeting
A high-level delegation from North Korea arrived in Seoul today for talks with the rival South in an atmosphere of optimism after North Korean leader Kim Jong-il pledged to seek reconciliation and hinted at a return soon to nuclear disarmament negotiations.
The North-South meetings that formally open tomorrow are aimed at normalising ties and elaborating on agreements made during a surprise meeting on Friday between Kim and the South’s top envoy to the North.
