Korean peace talks end with no promises made
April 19, 1997
Web posted at: 7:00 p.m. EDT (2300 GMT)NEW YORK (CNN) -- Informal talks between the United States and North and South Korea concluded Saturday with no agreement to resume broader negotiations.
The talks are aimed at getting the North and South to sign a peace treaty that would replace the armistice reached at the end of the 1950-53 Korean War. The goal is to include China in the negotiations.
The North Koreans said they are awaiting the go-ahead from Pyongyang before planning those broader talks. North Korean spokesman Han Song Ryol told CNN that the head of the North Korean delegation, Kim Gye Gwan, would stay in New York until at least Monday for a possible high-level meeting.
