North Korea and the U.S. held unofficial bilateral talks for a second consecutive day on Tuesday in Norway.
 
Government and civilian experts were speculated to have discussed conditions for the resumption of the stalled six-party talks on the North’s denuclearization as well as the improvement of Pyongyang-Washington relations.
 
They were also speculated to have discussed how to resolve the detainment of several American citizens in the North during the so-called track one-point-five dialogue.
 
The North Korean delegation was reportedly led by Choe Son-hui, director-general of the Foreign Ministry's North America bureau.
 
Her U.S. counterpart, Suzanne DiMaggio, is director and senior fellow at New America, a think tank based in Washington D.C. Former U.S. State Department officials who have participated in track one-point-five dialogue with the North also joined the talks.
