The delegations of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and the United States held a 90-minute bilateral meeting on Thursday, but failed to narrow their differences, said an official of the Republic of Korea (ROK) delegation to the six-party talks.

"DPRK and US delegation chiefs didn't narrow their differences in the one-on-one meeting" which started at about 11:40 a.m., said the ROK official on condition of anonymity.

This is the second bilateral meeting between the two delegations since the fourth-round six-party talks resumed Tuesday, involving China, the DPRK, the United States, the ROK, Russia and Japan, after a five-week recess.
