Korean Divide: 'Humanly impossible to find middle ground'



Hochgeladen von RussiaToday am 26.07.2011

A senior North Korean diplomat has been invited to New York in an attempt to revive long stalled-talks over his country's controversial nuclear programme. The moves come just days after top envoys from the North and South Korea sat together for the first time in over 2 years on the sidelines of a security summit in Indonesia. There they agreed to renew six-party talks over Pyongyang's atomic ambitions. Negotiations were halted after North Korea shelled Yeonpyeong Island, killing four people, saying it was responding to provocative military drills. However, the U.S. Secretary of State says before any deal is discussed, North Korea must first dismantle its nuclear facilities. To discuss the issue RT talks to Pepe Escobar, an Asia Times Correspondent from Bangkok.
