BEIJING (Reuters) - A senior North Korean official who has been the country's negotiator at denuclearisation talks will visit Beijing this week, China said on Monday, although analysts were sceptical Pyongyang was about to make concessions on its nuclear programme.
On Sunday, North Korea offered negotiations with Washington to ease tensions after threatening to wage war on the United States and South Korea earlier this year. The White House said any talks must involve actions by Pyongyang to show it is moving towards scrapping its nuclear weapons.
