 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - U.S. and South Korean officials focused on ways to convince North Korea to end its nuclear program Friday as an American intelligence official warned that the communist state could now arm a missile with a nuclear weapon.
Both Seoul and Washington are urging the North to return to six-nation talks on halting its nuclear program, and South Korea on Thursday strongly warned the North against conducting a nuclear test, following reports that it may be preparing its first such trial.
South Korean Unification Minister Chung Dong-young, responsible for Seoul's relations with the communist North, met Friday with U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, Washington's top envoy on the nuclear issue.
