A senior U.S. diplomat left the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) Saturday after his bid to persuade Pyongyang to make a full declaration on its nuclear programs.
Sung Kim, director of the State Department's Office of Korean Affairs, made no comment at the airport before leaving.
Kim arrived here Thursday and said the main focus of his trip "is to have a talk on issues related to declaration with officials of the DPRK Foreign Ministry."
The DPRK, which missed a year-end deadline to make a full and complete declaration of its nuclear program, has repeatedly claimed that the delay was caused by other countries' delays in fulfilling their commitments under the accord.
Under an agreement reached in October 2007 at the six-party talks, the DPRK agreed to disable all existing nuclear facilities and provide a complete and correct declaration of its nuclear programs by the end of 2007.
