The meeting between U.S. Undersecretary of State Nicholas Burns and Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Aleksandr Alexeyev in Beijing came after North Korea agreed last week to end a yearlong boycott of six-party nuclear talks.
Alexeyev is quoted as saying the resumption of the talks is "not possible earlier than mid-December."
