The delegations of North Korea and US held a 90-minute bilateral
meeting on Thursday, but failed to narrow their differences, said
an official of the South Korean delegation to the six-party
talks.
"North Korean and US delegation chiefs didn't narrow their
differences in the one-on-one meeting" which started at about 11:40
AM, said the South Korean official on condition of anonymity.
This is the second bilateral meeting between the two delegations
since the fourth-round six-party talks resumed Tuesday, involving
China, North Korea, US, South Korea, Russia and Japan, after a
five-week recess.
