Nuclear negotiators from North and South Korea sat down in China's capital Wednesday for their second round of talks in two months.South Korean envoy Wi Sung-lac and North Korea's Ri Yong Ho met at a private club in central Beijing to discuss terms for a resumption of six-nation talks on the dismantling of North Korea's nuclear programs.
Wi said during a break that the talks were going well.He said the envoys had discussed many issues but he could not predict the outcome of the afternoon session.South Korean officials said Tuesday that Wi is seeking a promise from North Korea that it will meet the South's conditions for restarting the talks. South Korea and the United States have insisted that Pyongyang show it is serious by fulfilling past commitments to disarm.North Korea, which walked away from the talks in 2009, has been pressing, with China's backing, for the talks to be re-started without conditions.
