The Foreign Ministry of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) announced Wednesday night that the DPRK and the United States reached a consensus on its nuclear declaration.
"A consensus was reached on the U.S. measure to make political compensation and the nuclear declaration," the official news agency KCNA quoted a spokesman for the ministry as saying.
Disagreement over the DPRK's nuclear declaration, which was due by the end of last year, has deadlocked the six-nation nuclear talks which also involved South Korea, Russia, China and Japan.
Washington suspected Pyongyang of having a secret program to enrich uranium for weapons and proliferating nuclear technology, and wanted those issues to be addressed in the declaration. The DPRK denied the speculation.
U.S. top negotiator Christopher Hill, after talks with DPRK Deputy Foreign Minister Kim Kye Gwan in Singapore on Tuesday, said they had made progress towards resuming stalled negotiations over the DPRK nuclear program.
The DPRK spokesman did not elaborate on the progress, but pledged: "We will follow the fulfillment of the commitments of those countries participating in the six-party talks."
