 HANOI, Vietnam (AP) - Envoys meeting on the sidelines of an Asia-Pacific economic summit, tried Wednesday to cobble together a united strategy for upcoming talks aimed at convincing North Korea to drop its nuclear weapons program.
While six-party talks on North Korea stalled last year after the United States imposed economic sanctions on Pyongyang, diplomats said they were focused on renewing negotiations in the wake of the communist country's Oct. 9 nuclear test.
"No one — China, nor Russia nor any of the three of us — has any intention of accepting North Korea as a nuclear state. I think we've all made that very clear," U.S. envoy Christopher Hill said after meeting for two hours with his Japanese and South Korean counterparts.
