BEIJING - Talks with North Korea on dismantling its nuclear program will resume next week, China said on Thursday, but Pyongyang raised a possible obstacle to progress by renewing its demands for the withdrawal of US troops from the Korean Peninsula as a sign of good faith. Talks are due to resume on Tuesday, said Qin Gang, spokesman for the Chinese Foreign Ministry. Speaking at a regular news briefing, he appealed to all sides to be flexible and practical in trying to reach a settlement to the long-running dispute.
