North Korean and U.S. officials met this week in New York but made no progress on restarting six-party talks on the North's nuclear programmes, a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman said on Saturday. The official KCNA news agency quoted the spokesman as saying Pyongyang still wanted to talk. It was prepared to be patient to see what the North Korea policy of newly re-elected President George W. Bush's revamped administration looked like, he said.
