SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s president said North Korea is making conciliatory gestures because it feels the pain of U.N. sanctions, while the top U.S. diplomat said Washington is considering the North’s long- held desire for direct talks.
South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak told reporters that the North is showing no sign of giving up nuclear weapons but that the U.N. sanctions against it are pushing it to be more conciliatory.
