Credit: Reuters/Denis Balibouse By Stephanie Nebehay GENEVA | Mon Oct 24, 2011 5:09pm EDT GENEVA (Reuters) - The United States and North Korea have narrowed differences in a second set of talks since wider negotiations on nuclear disarmament collapsed in 2009, but issues remain, the top U.S. negotiator said on Monday. Ambassador Stephen Bosworth, U.S. special representative for North Korea policy, said the U.S. goal was to find a "solid foundation" on which to relaunch bilateral and multilateral talks with Pyongyang. "We are moving in a positive direction. We have narrowed some differences but we still have differences that we have to resolve," Bosworth told reporters in Geneva after a first day of meetings and a dinner that he hosted for the North Korean delegation, led by First Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye-gwan. "We will continue to try to narrow differences," he added. Bosworth said that the discussions had been very intensive but gave no clue as to where progress had been made or what areas remained problematic. There was no immediate comment from North Korean officials who are to host the talks on Tuesday, including a possible joint lunch. Bosworth said he expected to make a statement after the talks conclude. "I am neither optimistic nor pessimistic but as I said we have made some progress but have some issues still to resolve and we will work hard to do that," he said. Earlier, Clifford Hart, U.S. special envoy for the stalled six-party talks, told reporters after the morning session that each side had made "useful presentations" of their positions. The session, which follows talks in New York in late July, is aimed more at managing tensions on the divided Korean peninsula than resuming stalled regional talks on ending the North's nuclear programs. The two delegations are staying at the same lakeside hotel. U.S. officials have described the talks as "exploratory" and aimed at keeping Pyongyang engaged so as to avoid any "miscalculations" by the reclusive nation. SLIGHT EASING OF TENSIONS U.S. officials and analysts were keeping expectations low, despite a slight easing of tensions between American ally South Korea and North Korea, and Pyongyang's repeated calls for resuming nuclear talks. The six-party talks, including North Korea's ally China as well as Russia, Japan and South Korea, fell apart in 2009 when North Korea quit the process after U.N. sanctions were imposed following its second nuclear test. China wants North Korea to deepen talks with the South and the United States in the hope of restarting nuclear negotiations, the Chinese vice premier told his North Korean counterpart, state media reported on Monday. The six-party forum offers the North economic aid in return for dismantling its nuclear program which is believed to have yielded enough fissile material to make up to 10 atomic bombs. Last year, the North unveiled a uranium enrichment facility at Yongbyon, which opens a second route to make a nuclear bomb along with its plutonium program, and argued it was for peaceful purposes. It says uranium enrichment falls outside the realm of previous six-party negotiations. A September 2005 agreement reached by all sides does not specifically refer to uranium enrichment, only stating that the North must cease all nuclear activities. Seoul and Washington insist that Pyongyang must first halt its nuclear activities, including its uranium enrichment program, before six-party talks can restart. U.S. Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, on his first visit to Asia, said in an op-ed published in Japan's Yomiuri newspaper that the common challenges faced by the United States and Japan included North Korea and China. "These include North Korea, which continues to engage in reckless and provocative behavior and is developing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles, which pose a threat not just to Japan, but to the entire region." South Korea said last week that Pyongyang's defiance over uranium enrichment remains the biggest hurdle. North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has stated his readiness to return to the nuclear talks "without any preconditions." He says the North remains committed to fulfilling the September agreement with the aim of denuclearizing the entire peninsula.
