North Korean Foreign Minister Pak Ui Chun arrived in Moscow on
Tuesday for bilateral talks over its nuclear programme, one day after the
reclusive state allowed re-entry to observers of the international nuclear
watchdog, the IAEA, reported dpa.
Russia, one of the six powers in negotiations with North Korea on its nuclear
programme, hailed the breakthrough for International Atomic Enrgy Agency
inspectors Tuesday.
"A positive dynamic has emerged in the solution of the nuclear problem of
the Korean Peninsula," the foreign ministry said in a statement posted on
its website Tuesday.
Chun will meet with Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov on Wednesday.
The Vienna-based nuclear watchdog announced on Monday that North Korea had
reversed its ban on IAEA inspections, after the United States struck the
country from its terrorism blacklist on Saturday.
