Nuclear talks extend into weekend in six nation exchanges
Six nation talks on North Korea's nuclear disarmament stretched into a fourth session of one on one meetings. The United States and North Korea remained split on concessions for denuclearization and a peaceful energy project, though atmosphere remained, officials said. Assistant Secretary of State Hill and North Korea's Kim Kye Gwan continued discussions seeking a principles statement that could lead to an agreement. The talks, longer than prior rounds, show cautious progress amid lingering gaps on uranium enrichment and Pyongyang's peaceful program. South Korea's Cho Tae-yong remained hopeful, saying talks were not below expectations.
