Six-way talks on North Korea crisis could take place next month : US.
(From Agence France Presse)
The United States said that it could sit down with North Korea in six-nation crisis talks as early as next month, as a breakthrough appeared imminent in a six-month nuclear showdown.
Hours after Russia said North Korea had accepted a US proposal for six-way talks, and President George W. Bush spoke to Chinese President Hu Jintao on the issue, the State Department said it was "very encouraged" by developments.
"At this moment we have indications that we find very encouraging," said State Department spokesman Boucher said.
The Russian foreign ministry said earlier that North Korea had agreed to a US proposal to hold six-nation talks to try to resolve the nuclear standoff which erupted last October.
Asked whether such talks could take place in September, a senior State Department official replied on condition of anonymity : "It could be then, it could be earlier."
Should the Russian statement be borne out, it would be seen as a diplomatic victory for Washington, which has consistently refused Pyongyang's demands for one-on-one talks on the crisis that erupted in October.
