U.S. Joins Talks on North Korea Disarmament 
--------------------------------------------



The United States is taking part in preliminary talks in Beijing to
convince North Korea to return to negotiations on nuclear disarmament.
The six party talks also include South Korea, China, Japan, and Russia.
The U.S. nuclear envoy for North Korea, Glyn Davies, said talks are in
the early stages.

Glyn Davies: "We are going to try to make as much progress as we can,
diplomacy is a difficult process that takes time, sometimes takes weeks
and months, and we'll see how far we can get. And if we cannot get far
enough, then we can get something, something that we can then build on.
That's important"
