North Korea has urged the South to stop its military exercises with the United States.

The two Koreas are currently holding important political talks.

The Cabinet level talks are being held in Pyongyang.

In his keynote speech, South Korea's chief delegate urged the North to resolve the crisis surrounding Pyongyang's nuclear weapons ambitions.

The top North Korean official replied by accusing Washington of preparing a pre-emptive nuclear strike and insisting that joint US-South Korean military drills be scrapped.

At a dinner on Tuesday night, the North Koreans expressed gratitude for the aid send to victims of a recent train tragedy.

Four hundred people injured in the disaster are still in hospital.

Wow, a sentence that actually has the words "dinner" and "North Koreans" in it.

If we are to continue aid it must be 2-tiered:

Food for the masses and prozac for the officials.

Any reported Kim sightings? He's like the yeti these days..

How very special. All of the otrher talks never really mattered, but these latest ones do, somehow. South Korea certainly should listen to their propaganda superiors concerning this.

And have been since '52. It's kind of like a politician saying something during an election year. It's always an election year.

I saw him hanging out with Elvis.

[Frank_Discussion]

Yeah, he said it was a "blast". Really "mind-blowing"...

"Any reported Kim sightings?"

You're not going to see him for quite a while. Whenever he feels threatened, he goes completely underground. I'd say that perhaps in a month or two we'll see him waving to crowds of people below. Besides, as restrictive as they are of foreigners (including media), I doubt any Kim Jong Il sightings would be reported anyway. Those people live every day in fear, and he's paranoid enough to have people working for him everywhere. If they think he doesn't want to be seen, they'll turn the other way when they do see him and forget that it ever happened.
