N. Korean leader calls for early resumption of six-party talks: Xinhua
SEOUL/BEIJING, May 26 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il expressed hope for an early resumption of the long-stalled six-party nuclear disarmament talks when he met with Chinese President Hu Jintao, Beijing's Xinhua News agency said Thursday.
But Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency gave a toned-down account, only saying that Kim and Hu recognized that peaceful settlement of the nuclear standoff through dialogue, including resumption of the six-party talks, and the "elimination of obstructive elements" conform to the overall interest in the region.
It appeared the two agencies coordinated the timing of their dispatches that marked the first time that the sides confirmed Kim's secretive weeklong trip to China. Kim held summit talks with Hu on Wednesday.
