SKorea leader predicts new NKorea talks under Obama
AFP - Sunday, December 14
FUKUOKA, Japan (AFP) - - South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak said Saturday he expected talks on ending North Korea's nuclear drive to restart after US president-elect Barack Obama takes office.
Six-nation disarmament talks collapsed Thursday in Beijing, leading the outgoing administration of US President George W. Bush to suspend shipments of fuel aid to Pyongyang which were part of the deal.
"Once the United States has the Obama administration, full-fledged discussions are expected," Lee told a joint news conference after a summit with leaders of Japan and China.
"The North Korean nuclear issue turned out to be 10 years of disappointment, but it is also true that we have progressed little by little," Lee said.
"The participants of the six-party talks should work together with patience," he said. "It may take time but this is an issue which we should and can resolve."
The latest round of six-country negotiations -- which also include the United States, Russia and North Korea itself -- ended with no agreement, dashing the Bush administration's hopes of a last-minute diplomatic success.
The United States had unsuccessfully pressed for North Korea to come up with a written plan to verify its nuclear disarmament.
Obama takes over on January 20 from Bush, who once branded North Korea part of an "axis of evil" but later led the aid-for-disarmament deal.
