U.S. says backs North Korea nuclear talks
Posted on: Saturday, 8 July 2006, 02:21 CDT
SEOUL (Reuters) - The United States said on Saturday it and South Korea supported a proposal to hold an informal meeting to spur stalled talks on ending North Korea's nuclear program
"The Chinese have talked about putting together a six-party informal. We both support that," top U.S. envoy for North Korea, Christopher Hill, told reporters in the South Korean capital. Hill was in China on Friday and flies to Japan on Sunday.
His trip to Asia follows Wednesday's missile launch by North Korea which has been roundly condemned by the international community. But Washington, with Japan, has struggled to win support for sanctions against Pyongyang over the missile tests.
