 BEIJING (AP) - North Korea insisted Wednesday it should get a nuclear reactor to generate electricity in exchange for abandoning atomic weapons development, but the main U.S. envoy at disarmament talks said Washington and its partners have no intention of meeting the demand.
After his first one-on-one meeting with the North Korean delegation at this round of six-nation talks on the communist nation's nuclear program, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said the sides "did not make a lot of progress."
"Yesterday was a long day," Hill said Thursday as he left his hotel. He was expected to meet with Pyongyang's delegation later. "Let's see if we can do a little better today."
