U.S. President George W. Bush said in a statement on Wednesday that the document reached during the six-party talks in Beijing reflects "the common commitment of the participants in the six-party talks to realize a Korean Peninsula that is free of nuclear weapons."
"I welcome the agreement announced today at the six-party talks in Beijing. Today's announcement reflects the common commitment of the participants in the six-party talks to realize a Korean Peninsula that is free of nuclear weapons," Bush said.
Bush said the document mapped out additional steps toward " ultimate goal of full and verifiable denuclearization" on the Korean Peninsula after the six-party talks reached agreements in September 2005 and February this year.
Bush said that under the agreement, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) has committed that by the end of this year, it will provide a complete and correct declaration of all its nuclear programs, nuclear weapons programs, materials and any proliferation activity.
The second phase of the sixth round of six-party talks ended in Beijing, China Wednesday with the joint document released on the second-phase actions toward the denuclearization on the Korean Peninsula.
The latest disarmament talks involved China, the DPRK, the United States, the Republic of Korea, Japan and Russia.
