U.S. - to follow up on nuclear talks with N.Korea

GENEVA, March 14 (Reuters) - U.S. officials will extend talks in Geneva with North Korea over nuclear disarmament, U.S. envoy Christopher Hill said on Friday, as he prepared to leave the Swiss city one day after urging faster progress in the talks.

"It was a very good meeting," he told reporters, but said he had no further meetings scheduled with the North Koreans.

"I think there might be another need for a consultation but frankly we'll all have to do a number of consultations with different parties before we have a six-party meeting."

The United States said on Thursday it wanted to see faster progress in negotiations on North Korea's nuclear activities after a day of fruitful talks in Geneva with the secretive communist state.

The six-party talks are chaired by China and include North and South Korea, the United States, Russia and Japan and aim to get North Korea to account for and abandon its nuclear plans in exchange for aid and recognition.
