Nuclear talks await DPRK apology: ROK

Beijing urges regional powers to move beyond sinking incident

BEIJING - Seoul on Friday urged Pyongyang to apologize for the sinking of a warship before it would consider a resumption of the stalled talks on nuclear disarmament of the Korean Peninsula.

The comments followed a top Chinese envoy's visit to Pyongyang earlier this week to discuss the disarmament process, according to Agence France-Presse.
