BEIJING - Talks on North Korea's nuclear program - which have dragged on this
week with little success - will likely take a recess, an official close to the
talks said Thursday.

The official,
who spoke on condition of anonymity due to the sensitivity of the talks, said
there was a "high possibility" the negotiations will recess because some
delegations have to leave Beijing.
The six-party talks were to have ended Wednesday, but were extended after
Pyongyang refused to take part for two days because of problems over the
transfer of North Korean funds in Macau bank.
South Korea's Yonhap news agency said North Korea's chief nuclear envoy Kim
Kye Gwan was likely leave Beijing later on Thursday.
