way talks aimed at eliminating the North's nuclear weapons program but the last round was in June. The talks, involving the two Koreas, the United States, Japan, Russia and China, have made little headway.

Pyongyang also wants the talks to address the threat it says it is facing from U.S. nuclear weapons.
