The United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) have agreed to meet again, following two days of talks that ended here on Wednesday, chief of U.S. delegation to the talks Daniel Glaser told reporters Wednesday night.

The two sides did not set a date for their next round of talks, said Glaser, who is U.S. Treasury Department's deputy assistant secretary for terrorist financing and financial crimes.

"It has been a long day," he said, adding that the meeting today at the DPRK embassy was very productive.

"The focus of today's talks was the issue of Banco Delta Asia, and we got a lot of information that is helpful to us," Glaser said.

"Now we have to take the information we have, put it all together and try to determine what an appropriate way is to move forward with respect to the bank," he said.

Financial sanctions are one of the key factors that have stalled the six-party talks aimed at denuclearizing the Korean Peninsula.

This was the second set of bilateral talks between the two parties. The first round was held in Beijing in last December.

The DPRK delegation to the talks was led by O Kwang Chol, president of the DPRK's Foreign Trade Bank.

The six-party talks will resume in Beijing on Feb. 8, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said.
