The US and other regional powers will resume talks with North Korea on ending the country's nuclear weapons programs, a South Korean envoy said on Tuesday, as cited by the New York Times.
The talks are to begin on Thursday, the South Korean envoy, Kim Sook, told reporters.
A deadlock was broken last month when North Korea submitted a long-delayed but partial account of its nuclear programs and the United States moved to take North Korea off its terrorism blacklist.
Mr. Kim said the new talks would focus on verifying the communist state's nuclear account, including the amount of plutonium the North has reported.
In a symbolic gesture to demonstrate its commitment to end its nuclear programme, on June 27 North Korea demolished the cooling tower of its main nuclear reactor at Yongbyon.
