White House rolls out red carpet for Queen Elizabeth

US President George W. Bush and thousands of dignitaries welcomed Britain's Queen Elizabeth II to the White House Monday with an honor guard and 21-gun salute ahead of a lavish state dinner.

This week's high-level military talks are only the fifth round between generals since the war, but each time the two sides have managed to agree on measures that cut military tensions on the peninsula.

Past meetings have led to the end of signs and loudspeakers blaring propaganda on both sides of the border as well as military hotlines to prevent naval clashes in disputed waters where skirmishes killed scores of sailors on both sides.

However the last round of the generals' meeting in May last year broke down when the North insisted on talks to redraw the disputed maritime border. - DDNews India
