More U.S.-North Korea Meetings

Officials from The United States and North Korea are still pushing toward meeting with each other in order to find some kind of agreement on a number of pressing international concerns, including uranium enrichment for the purpose of nuclear weapons.

The U.S. officials are hoping to use bilateral talks to push back into the six-party discussions.

According to the AP story:

'"We are prepared to enter into a bilateral discussion with North Korea," State Department spokesman P.J. Crowley told reporters on Friday.

The department denied changing its policy, saying any bilateral meeting would be to bring Pyongyang back to multilateral talks.

"When it'll happen, where it'll happen, we'll have to wait and see," Crowley added. "We've made no decisions at this point, other than just to say we are prepared for a bilateral talk, if that will help advance the six-party process."'


These discussions have been taking place for awhile, with nothing really concrete ever coming out of it. I guess it's good to see they're still making attempts at diplomacy.
