Aleksandr Losyukov, who is Russia's former envoy to six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear program and currently Russia's ambassador to Japan, told a news conference in Tokyo on November 13 that he fears that the danger of a conflict in the region is on the rise, news agencies reported (see "RFE/RL Newsline," November 1, 2006). He argued that "if the current state [of talks on North Korea's nuclear program] remains unchanged, drifting slowly in one direction, I think the situation will get even worse in the next one or two years and there will be a greater danger of conflict.
