NEW YORK (AP) - North Korea's top nuclear negotiator arrived in New York Friday night for talks with a senior American official on first steps toward establishing diplomatic relations after decades of hostility that followed the 1950-53 Korean War.
North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan flew to New York from San Francisco where he held private talks with a number of Asian experts. He made no comments as he entered the midtown hotel where he is staying, but smiled and waved to a crowd of reporters, photographers and cameramen.
This is Kim's first U.S. visit since the international standoff over the North's nuclear ambitions flared in late 2002.
