North Korea "Not Eager" to Restart Nuke Talks

Well this shouldn't come as a surprise to anyone who's been following the North Korea nuclear weapons fiasco. According to a report a UN envoy to the country put it best saying North Korea is "not eager" to restart talks about eliminating their nuclear arsenal. Last year China, Japan, Russia, South Korea, and the United States began talks with North Korea about them giving up their nuclear weapons. The talks were ended shortly and North Korea remained firm on their stance of remaining a nuclear state. It now appears the U.S. is attempting to get the talks going again, but North Korea isn't having it. Because North Korea continues to not cooperate in talks, the UN continues to mandate sanctions on the already impoverished nation. The article makes it clear that North Korea is not very appreciative of these sanctions. Hopefully it's enough to resume talks and perhaps convince North Korea to give up their weapons.
