Japan: N Korea nuclear talks to be extended
A stalled round of talks on disarming North Korea’s nuclear programme will be extended even though a dispute over when around €19m of Pyongyang’s funds will be released from a Macau bank is not settled, a Japanese diplomat said today.
North Korea has stayed away for the last two days from the six-party negotiations in China’s capital to meet goals outlined in a landmark February 13 disarmament agreement because of delays in transferring the money.
