SEOUL (Reuters) - U.S. Deputy Secretary of State Stephen Biegun rejected on Wednesday reports that he was seeking to meet North Korean officials during a visit to South Korea this week, but reiterated that the United States was open to resuming talks.
The U.S. point man for North Korea, Biegun was in Seoul for meetings with South Korean officials, overshadowed by the North's insistence that it had no intention of returning to denuclearisation negotiations as long as the United States clings to "hostile policies".
