U.S. and N.K. Likely to Decide on Date for Resumption of 6-party Talks
The United States and North Korea will likely make bilateral contacts in a few days in an attempt to set a date for the resumption of the six-party talks aimed at ending Pyongyang's nuclear ambition. Quoting a North Korean diplomatic source, Russia's Interfax news agency reported a high-level contact between the two countries will be made by Monday. The latest round of multilateral nuclear talks went into a recess on August 7th after failing to draw up a joint statement.
