Abstract:
The paper looks into the reasons why North Korea is reluctant to resume the Six Nations talks aimed at curbing its nuclear ambition, which was due in September 2004. The multilateral nature of the six nation talk has been discussed and China’s role in the negotiation process has been highlighted in the paper. It appears that because of the China factor there will be no change of regime in North Korea in face of the US pressure and it will also get enough scope to utilise its nuclear card.
