WASHINGTON, Jan 10: US negotiators resumed talks with a North Korean delegation in Santa Fe, New Mexico, on Friday in a bid to stop the communist state from making nuclear weapons.

In Santa Fe, New Mexico, former UN ambassador under the Clinton administration, Bill Richardson now the state’s governor, held two hours of talks with the two New York-based North Korean diplomats late on Thursday and a second session on Friday morning.

Richardson emerged as a negotiator after US officials said they were willing to talk to North Korea, but demanded that it dismantle its nuclear weapons programmes.
