SEOUL, Safar 27, 1432, Jan 31, 2011, SPA -- South Korea on Monday rejected a push by the North to bring forward military talks by 10 days, saying it was not enough time to prepare for their first dialogue since the North's deadly attack against a border island last year. Pyongyang sent a message to the South's defence ministry at the weekend calling for the preliminary talks, which Seoul has suggested take place at the Panmunjom truce village on Feb. 11, to start on Tuesday. It was not immediately clear why the North wanted an earlier date, Reuters reported. --SPA 12:22 LOCAL TIME 09:22 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/860759
