"We have not changed our position," he told Deutsche Press-Agentur (dpa). The meeting took place at the North Korean mission to the United Nations. The diplomat refused to provide details of the talks and U.S. officials had no immediate comment, dpa reported. The U.S. has asked North Korea to return to six-nation talks sponsored by the Chinese government in Beijing, but Pyongyang balked at the demand and asked for direct talks with Washington to resolve a dispute over its nuclear programmes. --More 2255 Local Time 1955 GMT
