The U.S. is said to have proposed to North Korea that it take early steps toward denuclearizing within the next two months. Citing sources in Washington, Japan’s Kyodo news agency reports the U.S. spelled out what those steps are last week at the six-party nuclear talks in Beijing.
Washington wants Pyongyang to first freeze its nuclear reactor in Yongbyon and to allow international nuclear inspectors into the country. The chief U.S. envoy to the talks Christopher Hill reportedly told his North Korean counterpart Kim Kye-gwan that the North must also declare and dismantle its nuclear facilities.
The U.S. reportedly promised in return a security guarantee as well as diplomatic and economic concessions.
