High level talks between Koreas scrapped over delegation lead
South Korea said Tuesday that the planned two day high level talks with North Korea were canceled over a stalemate on who would head each delegation. North Korea said it would not attend Seoul’s meeting after the South replaced its top official, Kim Hyung suk. The move ends hopes to revive economic cooperation and ease tension after North Korea’s nuclear threats and Seoul’s counter strikes. The last minister level Koreas meeting was in 2007.
