 JAKARTA, Indonesia (AP) - South Korea and North Korea agreed Saturday to resume talks that broke down last summer and to discuss the standoff over the North's suspected development of nuclear weapons, an Indonesian official said.
The decision came during a meeting between South Korean Prime Minister Lee Hae-chan and North Korea's No. 2 man, Kim Yong Nam, on the sidelines of an Asian-African summit in Jakarta, said Jacob Tobing, Indonesia's ambassador to South Korea.
The meeting was the second at the summit between the two leaders and addressed key issues including attempts to persuade Pyongyang to return to six-party talks aimed at getting North Korea to suspend its nuclear program.
