Ahead of his coming talks with North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye-gwan, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, Washington's chief nuclear envoy and also the head delegate to the U.S.-North Korea talks, on Wednesday said his country would not normalize ties with the communist nation unless it first gives up its nuclear ambition.
The North Korean diplomat also heads his country's delegation to six-nation talks on ending the nuclear dispute that erupted in late 2002.
