Washington’s envoy on the North Korean nuclear issue, Assistant Secretary of State Christopher R. Hill, met in Beijing with Kim Kye-gwan, who leads the North Korean negotiating team, for the first time in two months. Mr. Hill said that they had “a good, substantial discussion” but that there was no breakthrough. North Korea’s disarmament process has come to a virtual halt over differences on whether the country has fully accounted for its nuclear programs.
