Seoul wants apology before nuclear talks resume
None
South Korea said Friday it wanted Pyongyang to apologise for the sinking of one of its warships before it could consider a resumption of North Korea nuclear disarmament talks. The comments followed a visit by a top Chinese envoy to Pyongyang this week to discuss the disarmament process, which has been stalled since communist North Korea stormed out in April last year.
"First of all, the North should take some sincere measures concerning the Cheonan incident," said South Korea's foreign ministry deputy spokesman Shin Maeong-Ho. "Under the current circumstances, it's too early to talk about the resumption of the six-party talks," he said in reference to the multilateral forum aimed at inducing the North to give up its nuclear arsenal.
