Japan, North Korea to re-open bilateral talks (Reuters) Updated: 2005-09-20 17:32
North Korea and Japan have agreed to resume bilateral talks stalled since the
end of last year, Japanese Foreign Minister Nobutaka Machimura said on Tuesday.
The news came a day after North Korea signed an agreement with parties to
six-way talks on its nuclear weapons programme, but jeopardised the deal with a
subsequent vow to keep its weapons until the United States provided civilian
reactors.
Machimura told reporters the talks would cover a range of bilateral issues
including the nuclear issue and the abduction of Japanese citizens by Pyongyang
decades ago.
