N Korea 'agrees to suspend uranium enrichment'
2011-12-18
North Korea has agreed to suspend its enriched-uranium nuclear weapons programme, a key United States demand for the resumption of disarmament talks, news reports said Saturday.
Kimmie's back on his meds?
Yonhap news agency and the Chosun Ilbo daily quoted an unidentified diplomatic source saying the Washington had also agreed to provide the North with up to 240,000 tonnes of food aid. Pyongyang pledged "to implement initial measures of denuclearisation that include a suspension of its uranium enrichment programme," Yonhap said.

The North apparently agreed to put stricter and clearer monitoring systems in place to ensure that the food aid reached those most in need, according to the source, Yonhap said.

The agreements came when Robert King, US special envoy for North Korean human rights

, met with Ri Gun, head of North American affairs at North Korea's foreign ministry, on Thursday and Friday in Beijing, the source said. The reports could not be independently confirmed.

#12  TW: Shouldn't that be descent? I don't recall Hell being in the sky. And they are just announcing it, and already have the funeral set? I wonder if this agreement is because Kimmie died, and they delayed announcement.

#9  The only deal I would make with the Norks, is that they send us all their women. Every one.

Then their women will be happier in their new locations, and North Korea would not be a problem in about 30 years.

#1  When I saw the headline I thought "So how much are we giving them now for pretending to stop enrichment?".

Sadly I wasn't inaccurate.
