Source: Reuters
WASHINGTON, Jan 26 (Reuters) - U.S. officials will resume talks with their North Korean counterparts over U.S. financial curbs against Pyongyang on Jan. 30 in Beijing, a U.S. Treasury Department spokeswoman said on Friday. The multi-agency U.S. delegation will be headed by Daniel Glaser, deputy assistant Treasury secretary for terrorist financing and financial crimes, at a location in Beijing to be determined. The planned talks follow a previous round of discussions in December that ran parallel to six-nation talks over North Korea's nuclear program. In those discussions, the United States insisted that North Korea halt illicit financing activities including counterfeiting U.S. currency and drug trafficking, while the North Koreans demanded that a freeze be lifted on North Korean accounts at Macau's Banco Delta Asia.
