Satellite view of P'yŏngyang.Image via WikipediaNorth Korea said Saturday it was willing to resume six-nation nuclear disarmament talks but would not be "hasty" because the United States and some other parties were not ready. The statement from a foreign ministry spokesman gave no indication of whether Pyongyang has dropped its preconditions: a lifting of sanctions and separate talks with Washington on a permanent peace treaty.
The North is ready for a six-party resumption "but decided not to go hasty but to make ceaseless patient efforts now that the US and some other participating countries are not ready for them", the spokesman told the official Korean Central News Agency.
