SEOUL — The United States and South Korea will hold additional talks about a new timeline for the U.S. to move its troops to Camp Humphreys, after failing to reach an agreement Wednesday on the schedule and funding of the relocation.

U.S. Forces Korea spokeswoman Col. Jane Crichton said the countries had a "good discussion" and talked about topics including housing at Camp Humphreys and awarding rights for designated special facilities, such as a hospital.

"There was agreement on many things," she said. "Much progress was made."

Most U.S. troops in and north of Seoul are scheduled to move to Camp Humphreys by 2012, but the massive expansion of the once-sleepy helicopter base has been slow.

A spokesman for South Korea’s Ministry of National Defense, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said in January that U.S. officials are pushing for delays because of budgetary concerns, but that South Korea wants the relocation as quickly as possible. He also said the relocation could be delayed until 2016.

Crichton said more talks would be held "shortly," but no date had been set.

The South Korean press has reported that there are several sticking points in the deal, including which of the two countries will pay for new housing at Humphreys.

A spokesman for the Ministry of National Defense said there were a few areas that the two countries disagreed on but declined to name them or talk about other details of Wednesday’s meeting, which he characterized as productive.
