THE rival Koreas yesterday held their first talks since a deadly attack on a South Korean island last year amid signs of a thaw in tensions as momentum builds for a resumption of aid-for-disarmament negotiations.
The preliminary military talks clear one of the roadblocks to a possible resumption of six-way talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear weapons program. Those talks were last held more than two years ago when North Korea walked out.
The two sides failed to reach an agreement yesterday, and will resume negotiations today about arranging a senior-level meeting, the defence ministry in Seoul said.
Under pressure from the US and China, host of the six-party talks, the Koreas have toned down their combative rhetoric over the past month and agreed to bilateral talks.
