North and South Korea talks end after only 22 minutes

The first talks between North and South Korea were broken off after only 22 minutes. Apparently, the South Koreans wanted to talk about a detained businessman and the North Koreans weren't interested. Based on recent North Korean actions and statements, I doubt anything short of a formal surrender would have kept the talks going. CNN is reporting,

(CNN) -- Details emerged Wednesday from the first government-to-government talks between the two Koreas in more than a year.

Tuesday's talks ended quickly -- after 22 minutes -- South Korea's Unification Ministry said.

The two sides were to discuss business deals tied to the Kaesung Industrial Complex in North Korea, which is run by both nations. The talks broke off after the North Korean delegation refused to discuss the release of a detained South Korean worker, saying he was not on the agenda, according to South Korean officials.
