From Yahoo News/Reuters:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The United States will send a team next week to six-country talks in Moscow on North Korean disarmament, a State Department spokesman said on Wednesday.
The February 19-20 meeting in Moscow coincides with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's visit to Seoul, part of her first trip abroad that includes Japan, Indonesia and China.
The Moscow conference will focus on the framework for broad six-party talks in which North Korea agreed in 2005 to abandon its nuclear programs, spokesman Robert Wood said. The talks include the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States.
The six-party talks have not led to an agreement on how to verify disarmament by Pyongyang, which tested a nuclear device in 2006 and has been slow to carry out agreements on disabling its plutonium program.
