U.S. to seek 6-way talks despite N. Korea's threat to cut ties
By Hwang Doo-hyong
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30 (Yonhap) -- The United States Friday reiterated its pledge to denuclearize North Korea through multilateral talks, dismissing as rhetoric North Korea's threat earlier in the day to cut off all political and military accords with South Korea.
"Let me just say this type of, you know, rhetoric is distinctly not helpful,"
State Department spokesman Robert Wood said in a daily news briefing. "But that's
not going to deter us from continuing our efforts to achieve denuclearization of
the Korean Peninsula through the six-party framework. So again, I would just say
that those comments are certainly not helpful."
