Chief negotiators to the six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear programs could be meeting in Tokyo early this week, with several delegates already in Japan, some of them to attend a security conference starting Sunday.
North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan, the country's chief delegate, said Saturday in Tokyo, "We have decided to actively contact (officials from other countries) bilaterally and multilaterally for the advancement of six-party talks."
Upon arriving at Narita airport on Friday, Kim told reporters, "We would not reject a request by the United States for bilateral talks."
