Six-party nuke talks end with verification agreement

12/07/2008 -- 9:22 PM

Hanoi (VNA) – The six-party talks on the Korean Peninsular nuclear issue ended in Beijing on July 12 with an agreement to establish a verification mechanism of Korean Peninsular denuclearisation, according to news reports.

The verification mechanism consists of experts from the six nations of China, the United States, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), the Republic of Korea (RoK), Russia and Japan, and the measures include visits to facilities, review of documents, interviews with technical personnel, head of the Chinese delegation Wu Dawei said.

He was quoted by Xinhua news agency as saying that the mechanism welcomes the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to provide consultancy and assistance for relevant verification when necessary.

The six parties also agreed to set up a monitoring mechanism, consisting of the six top negotiators, to ensure all nations to fulfill their respective commitments of non-proliferation and economic and energy assistance to the DPRK, Wu added.

The fresh round of discussions came after the DPRK handed over the long-awaited nuclear declaration list late June and then blew up a cooling tower in its main nuclear reactor at Yongbyon.

The talks have run for three days since July 10 in the Chinese capital.-Enditem
