U.S. State Department said on Friday that the United States will not remove sanctions on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) for the resumption of six-party nuclear talks.
Sanctions on DPRK "exist for a very good reason: because North Korea consistently has failed to live up to its international obligations," said department spokesman Philip Crowley.
"We have no intention of removing those sanctions as an enticement for a dialogue," said Crowley.
Chinese Foreign Ministry said Thursday that Kim Kye Gwan, DPRK' s first vice minister of foreign affairs, had arrived in Beijing on Tuesday for talks with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi and other senior Chinese diplomats regarding the resumption of six- party talks.
