S. Korea Sees Rice Visit Key to N. Korea Talks 2005-7-8 20:46:24    CRIENGLISH.com S.Korea officials say Rice's trip to Asia could provide the final push for N.Korea to return to multilateral talks on ending its nuclear weapons programs. Related Event: Korean Nuclear Issue South Korea officials say United States Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice's coming trip to Asia could provide the final push for North Korea to return to stalled multilateral talks on ending its nuclear weapons programs. The talks between North and South Korea, China, Japan, Russia and the United States have been stalled for more than a year. Rice leaves Washington Friday and will visit China, Thailand and Japan before finishing in South Korea on Wednesday. South Korea Foreign Minister Ban Ki-moon said this week that during Rice's visit, there will be in-depth discussions for an early resumption of the six-party talks, adding that the trip was likely to be a good turning point and bring "substantive progress." South Korea officials said they believe the talks could begin as early as this month. In another positive sign, Chinese President Hu Jintao is sending a former foreign minister to North Korea next week when Rice has talks in Tokyo and Seoul. Rice arrives in the region Saturday, just months after a previous visit. Her tour comes after North Korea signaled it wanted to return to talks, possibly this month but only if Washington met conditions, such as showing respect and refraining from hurling insults at its leader, Kim Jong-il.       Talk China     Print     Email     Recommend CRIENGLISH.com claims the copyright of all material and information produced originally by our staff.
