6月6日，應(yīng)朝鮮方面要求。美國和朝鮮代表在紐約再次進(jìn)行接觸，希望能恢復(fù)已經(jīng)中斷了將近一年的六方會談。雙方代表上次會晤是在5月13日，美國代表曾敦促朝鮮返回談判桌。外電報道如下：The United States held another rare bilateral meeting with North Korea, hoping to kick-start stalled six-nation talks on Pyongyang's nuclear arms program, the State Department said.
Department spokesman Sean McCormack said the meeting in New York was held around noon (1600 GMT) and arose out of "procedural contacts." He would not give any further details.
But an official, who asked not to be named, confirmed that the North Koreans had made the request a few days ago to reopen the so-called "New York channel" via Pyongyang's UN mission.
Kick-start在此表示“起動，發(fā)起”，作名詞相當(dāng)于kick starter，意為“（摩托車的）腳踏式起動法，（發(fā)動機(jī)的）起動踏板”。
美國國防部長拉姆斯菲爾德6日在曼谷說，作為一種善意行動，美國沒有將朝核問題提交聯(lián)合國安理會設(shè)下期限。此前一些美國官員表示，如果朝鮮不返回談判桌，美國將在6月底將朝核問題提交聯(lián)合國，以便對朝鮮實行經(jīng)濟(jì)制裁。
