The United States and North Korea began talks in Beijing on Tuesday on the communist nation's delayed nuclear declaration and the political concessions it will receive in return, including the North's goal of removal from a U.S. terrorism blacklist.
Assistant Secretary of State Christopher R. Hill said he met with his North Korean counterpart, Vice Foreign Minister Kim Gye Gwan, to prepare the agenda for more detailed negotiations Wednesday.
The declaration, which would lay out the North's nuclear programs, has been key in preventing progress on the country's disarmament. Pyongyang officials had promised to complete the statement by the end of last year.
