North Korea: Delegation From Pyongyang Leaves Talks in Panmunjom
February 09, 2011
Talks between North and South Korea ended abruptly on Wednesday after the delegation from Pyongyang walked out, CNN reports.
The rivals were meeting for the first time in four months.
The two sides did not reach an agreement about setting up high-level military discussions during this preparatory session held in the border area of Panmunjom.
After less than five hours, the North Koreans left the table in a "unilateral" move, said the South Korean Defense Ministry.
Pyongyang was said to be demanding a comprehensive agenda from both sides on possible military actions. Seoul wanted to limited discussion to last year's attacks by the North on a South Korean warship and a disputed border island.
