The United States' chief negotiator at talks on North Korea's nuclear crisis
said on Friday there were "real difficulties" ahead in trying to end the
impasse.
"They have produced more plutonium than electricity," Christopher Hill told
reporters, referring to communist North Korea.
Christopher Hill, U.S. Assistant Secretary of
State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs and top U.S. negotiator for the
six-party talks, speaks to journalists before continuation of talks in
Beijing September 16, 2005. [Reuters] | "Obviously we have real difficulties ahead of us. In fact, just in the last
couple of days, they've come back with a whole new concept. That is a
light-water reactor. So indeed we have a problem."
The six-party talks, grouping the two Koreas, the United States, Japan,
Russia and host China, were in disarray on Friday as a stand-off over
Pyongyang's demand for a light-water reactor was exacerbated by its threat to
boost weapons production.
