N Korea lured to peace talks
South Korea's Foreign Ministry said the main aim of Washington talks between North Korea and the United States were to get the North to attend four-party peace talks in Geneva.
The US State Department said on Wednesday that talks between North Korean and American officials "were held in a businesslike manner". North and South Korea, the United States and China last week agreed to begin peace talks on 9 December.
