WASHINGTON, April 30 (Xinhuanet) -- The Bush
administration on
Tuesday signaled it will accept an offer from the
Democratic
People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to hold security talks
between
the two countries.
The Permanent Mission of
DPRK to the United Nations has
informed the U.S. State Department that
it is prepared to begin
talks with the United States, White House
spokesman Ari Fleischer
said in a statement.
"The
United States will work to determine the timing and other
details in
the coming days," Fleischer said. "We anticipate these
talks will
begin."
He noted that the U.S. offer to DPRK to resume the
talks has
been on the table since June and said it would be willing to
meet
with DPRK officials any time, any place.
