BEIJING, Mar 21, SPA -- Stalled international talks over North Korea's nuclear ambitions were likely to be extended to Thursday, the official Xinhua News Agency said. The negotiations were at a standstill for a second dayWednesday over a dispute on when US$25 million ofPyongyang's funds will be released from a Macau bank. The talks, which began Monday, had been scheduled to last three days, but progress grinded to a halt when the North refused to take part in discussions until the money was transferred from Banco Delta Asia in the Chinese territory of Macau to a North Korean account in Beijing.--SPA www.spa.gov.sa/434443
