		</div><p>Propaganda broadcasts at North Korea will continue unless Pyongyang apologises for a land mine attack that maimed two soldiers, South Korea’s president said.<br />
Park Geun-hye vowed a hard line and signalled Seoul’s mounting frustration as marathon negotiations by senior officials from the rival Koreas stretched into a third day.</p>
<p>Her strong words help reveal why the talks, which started on Saturday evening, have dragged on.<br />
For the time being, the diplomacy has pushed aside previous heated warnings of imminent war, but South Korea’s military said North Korea continued to prepare for a fight, moving unusual numbers of troops and submarines to the border.</p>
<p>North Korea is refusing to apologise for what Seoul says was a land mine attack earlier this month and then an artillery barrage last week.<br />
North Korea denies both attacks and demands that Seoul stop the propaganda broadcasts started in retaliation for the land mine explosions.<br />
These are the highest-level talks between the two Koreas in a year.</p>
<p>And the fact senior officials from countries that have spent recent days vowing to destroy each other are sitting together at a table in Panmunjom, the border enclave where the 1953 armistice ending fighting in the Korean War was signed, is something of a victory.<br />
The length of the talks – nearly 10 hours for the first session and more than 18 for the second – and the lack of immediate progress are not unusual.</p>
<p>While the Koreas often have difficulty agreeing to talks, once they do, long sessions are often the rule. After decades of animosity and bloodshed, finding common ground is much harder.</p>
