WASHINGTON — Raising hopes for a new era of rapprochement with nuclear- armed North Korea, the Obama administration said Wednesday it would sit down with the reclusive regime for a fresh round of atomic-weapons talks and appoint a full- time envoy with the task of persuading Pyongyang to abandon its nuclear program.
The meetings Monday and Tuesday in Geneva represent another step forward after last year’s military attacks on South Korea that led to threats of war.
Seasoned diplomat Glyn Davies will lead the efforts. Davies, the U.S. ambassador to the International Atomic Energy Agency, will replace Stephen Bosworth.
