US will not hold bilateral meetin with N Korea, says official
The United States has no intention to meet with North Korea during a regional security meeting this week unless it rejoins stalled six-nation talks on the communist country’s nuclear weapons programme, a top US official said today.
“We don’t know if (North Korea) wants to come to a six-party meeting. We are sceptical about having bilaterals with countries that are not participating (in the six-party talks),” said Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, the chief US negotiator in nuclear talks.
