April 2002 North Korea to Resume Dialogue with Seoul, Washington VOA News 6 Apr 2002 04:50 UTC   A South Korean
presidential envoy says North Korea is ready to resume talks and exchanges with
South Korea and reopen dialogue with the United States.
Mr. Lim also said that former U.S. ambassador to Seoul, Donald Gregg, either already was in Pyongyang or was due to arrive later in the day to help in the resumption of U.S.-North Korea talks. During Mr. Lim's visit, delegates from the two Koreas also made progress on other issues, including the reunion of family members divided since the Korean War, economic cooperation, and linking severed roads and railways between the North and South. The two sides agreed to adhere to the spirit of a historic agreement signed in June, 2000, during a summit of the leaders of the two countries. Pyongyang
backed away from all the agreements after President Bush took office and
ordered a review of Washington's policies toward North Korea. Mr. Bush later
called North Korea part of an "axis of evil" along with Iran and
Iraq. Some information for this report provided by AP, AFP and Reuters.
