Reuters reports: South Korea Says North’s No-Talks Stance a Tactic.
North Korea’s hostile weekend reaction to last week’s six-way talks on its nuclear program was an initial response and probably a negotiating ploy, South Korea said on Monday. […] It is not yet clear whether Pyongyang has officially reneged on that agreement or is using past tactics that mix bluster and brinkmanship with gradual steps forward. “The North Koreans’ post-conference verbal offensive was nothing but a stupid repeat of their habitual negotiating strategy,” the Korea Herald said in an editorial.
