United States still open to talks with North Korea about nuclear disarmament

In Beijing, U.S. envoy Stephen Bosworth talked about restarting stalled negotiations on North Korea’s nuclear disarmament. Bosworth said that while no quick breakthroughs are likely in wooing North Korea back to nuclear disarmament talks, the United States remains open to a direct meeting. He said lifting of sanctions imposed on North Korea by the United Nations, the United States, and other countries can occur only after the North has shown a willingness to make progress in the talks.
