China tries to woo N.Korea back to N- talks BEIJING, Sunday (Reuters) - A senior Chinese Communist Party official held talks in North Korea, joining a flurry of diplomats trying to woo the isolated state back into talks on its nuclear weapons programme. But North Korea, which this week said it had nuclear bombs, showed no signs of budging, stressing that conditions were not right to resume six-party negotiations involving the two Koreas, the United States, China, Russia and Japan. Wang Jiarui, head of the Chinese Communist Party's international liaison department, held talks in Pyongyang with Kim Yong-nam, president of Communist North Korea's Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly, China's Xinhua news agency said. "The two sides exchanged views on bilateral relations and inter-party contacts, as well as regional and global issues of common concern," Xinhua said. Before leaving for North Korea, Wang said the fate of the stalled talks would be up for discussion. |
