Six-nation talks on North Korea¡¯s nuclear program will reopen in Beijing on July 18, four months after the previous round ended on March 22, host country China has told the other participants. The talks will take the form of a two-day meeting among chief negotiators from the six countries, who will discuss ways for North Korea to report and disable its nuclear program under a Feb. 13 agreement. They are also to work out the timetable for meetings of five working groups set up under the agreement and a meeting among their foreign ministers. Before flying to Beijing, the top U.S. nuclear negotiator Christopher Hill will stop in Seoul and Tokyo to coordinate efforts. On arrival in the Chinese capital on July 17, he will meet one-on-one with his North Korean counterpart Kim Kye-kwan.
