US seeks DPRK's return to nuke talks

U.S. special envoy for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, Stephen Bosworth, arrived in Pyongyang Tuesday. The 3 day visit is an effort to bring the DPRK back to the international nuclear disarmament talks.

The main issues concerning the world is what topics will be discussed between President Barack Obama's first envoy to the DPRK and DPRK officials. State Department officials say Bosworth will hold high-level talks Wednesday. But they did not say whom he would meet.

There is speculation the DPRK will demand the U.S. sign a peace treaty with Pyongyang in return for a "yes" to the Six-party talks. The U.S. says the issue of a peace treaty should be discussed at a separate forum at the six-party talks.

Thursday, Bosworth's delegation will return to Seoul before continuing onto Beijing, Tokyo and Moscow to brief other parties in the international talks before returning to Washington.
