By Byun Duk-kun
SEOUL, March 12 (Yonhap) -- Top nuclear negotiators of South Korea and Japan urged North Korea Friday to immediately return to six-nation talks on ending its nuclear programs, saying the only way the communist nation will win any concessions from the international community is through dialogue.

The meeting between South Korea's Wi Sung-lac and his Japanese counterpart, Akitaka Saiki, was held here as Saiki, also head of the Japanese foreign ministry's Asian and Oceanian affairs bureau, stopped in Seoul on his way to the southern island of Jeju for a meeting with Japanese diplomats.
