But some analysts expect reconciliation efforts to continue, perhaps under a new name.
• NORTH KOREA / U-S VOA 04 Dec 2001-- North Korea says Washington should end a "strong arm" policy directed at the isolated communist state before the two sides resume talks on reducing military forces on the Korean Peninsula.
