  • Story Text: Top U.S. envoy on North Korea heads into talks with
    China on the fate of negotiations over Pyongyang's
    suspected nuclear programme, as mystery deepens over a
    massive explosion in the secretive country last week.


    U.S. Assistant Secretary of State, James Kelly, will
    hold talks with China on Monday (September 13) as efforts
    continue to set a date for a fourth round of talks over
    North Korea's nuclear programme.

    Kelly made no comment as he left his hotel on Monday.

    Kelly's visit comes amid deepening mystery over a huge
    explosion which rocked North Korea last week.

    U.S. and South Koreans officials said on Sunday
    (September 12) the blast was unlikely to have been a
    nuclear weapons test despite the appearance of a "peculiar
    cloud" over the area.

    North Korea is believed to be developing nuclear
    weapons. In October 2002, U.S. officials said North Koran
    officials admitted to a clandestine uranium enrichment
    programme that could be used to develop nuclear weapons and
    that violated its international commitments.

    South Korea, Japan, China, Russia and the United States
    are trying to persuade North
    Korea to resume talks on its nuclear ambitions. The North,
    which threatened at earlier talks to test an atomic bomb,
    has said it doubts more negotiations will help.
