North Korea: Pyongyang Refuses Weapons Discussions With Tokyo North Korea yesterday refused to discuss its nuclear weapons program with Japan during talks on normalizing relations between the two countries (see GSN, Oct. 29). Instead, officials said they want to conduct any discussions on ending the country’s weapons program directly with the United States, according to the Financial Times. The normalization talks, which are being held in Kuala Lumpur and were scheduled to end today, got off to a difficult start yesterday and “not much progress” was made, said Katsunari Suzuki, head of the Japanese delegation. “It will be a tough negotiation — like inserting an elephant through a needle,” Suzuki said (David Pilling, Financial Times, Oct. 30).
