Russia has asked the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to supply all the necessary information about its nuclear program to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) by Dec. 31, Itar-Tass news agency reported on Tuesday.
"Russia welcomes the disabling of three nuclear sites in North Korea. We also welcome the progress made at the six-nation negotiations on the nuclear problem of the Korean Peninsula," Itar-Tass quoted Representative to the IAEA Grigory Berdennikov as saying.
"The IAEA plays an important role in the Korean nuclear settlement," he said.
Progress has been made on the nuclear issue this year, following IAEA experts' visits and delivery of aid to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.
According to a six-party talks joint document released in Beijing on Oct. 3, Pyongyang agreed to disable all the existing nuclear facilities and provide a complete and correct declaration of all its nuclear programs by the end of this year.
