North Korea Ready to Give Up Nuclear Arms

North Korea will renounce its nuclear weapons if the U.S. withdraws nuclear arsenals from South Korea and other countries in the region, Russia’s Interfax news agency reported on Wednesday.

“The statement that North Korea would act as a nuclear power at the negotiations means that, in exchange for its nuclear disarmament, it will demand the withdrawal of US nuclear weapons from South Korea and other countries of the region,” an informed North Korean diplomatic source was quoted as saying by the Russian news agency.

He added that North Korea is ready to return to the negotiations if the conditions defined on October 31, would be observed. The heads of the North Korean, Chinese and US delegations to the six-party talks on the North Korea nuclear problem met in Beijing in October.
