Talks on Korea ship row today

TALKS between North Korea and the American-led United Nations Command have been rescheduled for today after North Korea abruptly canceled a meeting meant to discuss the sinking of a South Korean warship.

Military officers from the two sides now plan to meet at the Korean border village of Panmunjom this morning, the UN Command said in a statement yesterday.

The talks were originally set for Tuesday, but the North abruptly canceled them just before they were to start, requesting a delay for "administrative reasons." It later asked they be held today and the UN Command agreed.

The talks would be the first such meeting since the March 26 sinking. Forty-six South Korean sailors were killed. An international investigation in May concluded that a North Korean submarine fired a torpedo that sank the 1,200-ton Cheonan near the tense Korean sea border.
