..WHAT A SURPRISE!!

North Korea rules out six-way talks

North Korea said Thursday that it will not join any six-way talks with the United States, South Korea, China, Russia and Japan, unless Washington lifts its financial sanctions against Pyongyang.

Pyongyang's reiteration of its previous position came as its foreign minister, Paek Nam-sun, arrived in Kuala Lumpur to attend a regional security forum.

"There will be no incident (in which) we return to the six-way talks as long as the U.S. continues to impose its financial sanctions," Jung Sung-il, director-general of North Korean Foreign Ministry's international organization bureau, told reporters.

Jung made the comments on behalf of his boss Paek, who was whisked away by a sedan upon his arrival at the airport.(Yonhap, 7.27)
