Seoul, 25 feb ( EFE).-the Special Envoy of USA to North Korea, Glyn Davies, valued today in Seoul as “a good start” early discussions in Pyongyang since the death in December of North Korean leader Kim Jong-il, China News agency Yonhap.

Davies, who travelled to South Korea today to inform Seoul of a meeting held with Pyongyang, said that they have been “a good start with the new Government” North Korean, but he said they are still “far” to talk of the multilateral process to resume six-party North Korean denuclearization.

“I think it is significant that in a relatively short period of time after the change of leadership in the North, they have decided to reenganchar is” to the talks, said Davies at a press conference.

Also noted that this step, you want to and expected North Korea “choose the path of greater participation and cooperation ultimately”.

The United States, which held two meetings last Thursday and Friday with the North Korean Vice-Minister Kim Kye-gwan, in the American and North Korean embassies in Beijing, said at the end of them that “small progress” had been made.

Davies also said that in the new regime of leader Kim Jong – a, son of the late North Korean dictator Kim Jong-il, there was “nothing dramatically different” in style or substance, in the position of the North Korea.

Despite this, US hopes that, with the change of leadership, the hermetic Communist regime show a greater willingness to negotiate on its nuclear program in order to resume the stalled six-party talks.

The multilateral process, involving the two Koreas, United States, China, Japan, Russia, remains suspended since April 2009, when Pyongyang unilaterally abandoned them after an alleged missile test.

Both Washington as Seoul require Korea of the North to dismantle its uranium enrichment programme and allow the entry into the country of the inspectors of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) as a prior step to show its commitment to denuclearization.

Pyongyang intends to resume the process without prior concessions, while you wait to get aid to improve its economy in constant crisis to change.
