DELEGATES FROM NORTH AND SOUTH KOREA BEFORE TALKS IN SEOUL.
North Korean delegation leader Kim Ryung-sung (L) talks with South Korean Unification Minister Jeong Se-Hyun at the 13th Inter-Korean Ministerial Talks in Seoul February 4, 2004. The cabinet-level meeting, the 13th since the historic inter-Korean summit in 2000, was expected to be dominated by North Korea's nuclear arms program, but the issue appears to have been taken off the table after the North agreed to attend a new six-party meeting on the nuclear issue later this month.
