way talks could be resumed next week," the unnamed source said. Wu met Japanese officials on Wednesday but had only said the talks would likely resume next week as planned, stopping short of giving a specific date. "All I can say for now is that we are still discussing the opening of the meeting to be held sometime in the week of Aug. 29 ... No specific date has been set at the moment," Tomohiko Taniguchi, deputy press secretary at Japan's Foreign Ministry, told a news conference. There has been a flurry of diplomatic activity ahead of the planned resumption of talks, including contacts between U.S. and North Korean officials, in a bid to avoid another breakdown. --More 1220 Local Time 0920 GMT
