SEOUL, South Korea (AP) — The United States will talk with North Korea as early as next week in a meeting hosted by China, thawing chilly relations between Washington and Pyongyang over the communist nation's nuclear weapons program.
It will be the first time in six months that U.S. representatives have met face to face with North Korean officials.
Pyongyang had insisted earlier that any talks about its nuclear program must be with the United States alone, but agreed in recent days to allow China at the table. The Bush administration had repeatedly called for multilateral talks involving several nations in the region.
