N Korea nuke talks to resume next week


International talks on North Korea's nuclear disarmament will resume in Beijing next week, a report said Tuesday, as the UN's nuclear watchdog prepared to return to the North to oversee the promised shutdown of its main reactor.

Host China has informed participating countries that the negotiations will start July 18, South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported from Beijing, citing an unidentified diplomatic source familiar with the negotiations.

The session was expected to last two days, but could go on for one more if necessary, Yonhap said. China was expected to make an official announcement on the talks as early as Tuesday, Yonhap added.
