US sees no 'fast track' for N.Korea nuclear talks

The United States is in no rush to resume nuclear talks with North Korea even though Washington has invited a senior diplomat to New York this week, US officials said on Monday.

US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton announced on Sunday that North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kae-gwan would discuss what needs to be done to restart the dialogue with Pyongyang which has been suspended since 2009. (Reuters)
