World rounds Korean talks begin in Geneva
Negotiators from North and South Korea opened a new round of peace talks in Geneva aimed at ending nearly five decades of Cold War on the peninsula.

North Korea’s Kim Gye Gwan presided as talks resumed in December 1997, seeking a permanent peace to replace the 1950s armistice and noting stubborn procedural delays in earlier rounds.
