North Korea and the US are holding talks on restarting efforts to recover the remains of US troops killed during the Korean War, after a six-year halt. Co-operation on the issue stalled in 2005 amid escalating tension over Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions. But North Korea said last month it would restart talks, and officials are now meeting in the Thai capital, Bangkok.The move comes amid some signs the two sides are looking to re-engage. On Monday South Korea's Yonhap news agency reported that US and North Korean negotiators would meet in Geneva next week to discuss reviving stalled international talks on ending North Korea's nuclear programme.The two sides last met in July, in New York, to discuss a resumption of the six-party talks, which also include South Korea, Japan, Russia and China.The talks broke down in April 2009, just before Pyongyang carried out its second nuclear test.
