A group of former U.S. officials plans to seek its latest round of informal talks with North Korean officials as tensions escalate in the region.
Joseph DeTrani, a former U.S. intelligence specialist who helped broker a 2005 agreement on North Korea’s nuclear program, said unofficial talks between the two sides usually take place about every six months.
