The United States and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea will hold second round of talks from September 1-2 to discuss normalizing ties and other issues, State Department deputy spokesman Gonzo Gallegos said Monday.
"The US-North Korea working group will meet in Geneva on the 1st and 2nd," Gallegos said.
The first round of talks between the two countries was held in March in New York as part of the six-party agreement reached on Feb. 13 this year, Gallegos said.
Under the February agreement, the DPRK agreed to shut down its Yongbyon nuclear reactor in return for rewards including security guarantee and possible normalization of ties with the United States.
The DPRK has shut down its nuclear reactor according to the agreement. The United States has insisted that a complete dismantlement of the DPRK's nuclear arsenal is necessary for any establishment of ties between the two countries that have been enemies for over 50 years.
