The three-nation team of international nuclear experts currently
in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) reached a
consensus with the country's government on Friday on disablement of
the Yongbyong nuclear facilities.
Chinese expert Chu Xuming told Xinhua that the team of
international nuclear experts made a detailed plan on disabling the
Yongbyong nuclear facilities after they returned to Pyongyang
Thursday following an inspection trip to Yongbyong.
The plan will be presented to the next round of the six-party
talks in Beijing, Chu added.
The team, led by a US State Department official, groups seven
experts from the United States, one from China and one from
Russia.
The team of experts held a whole day of in-depth discussions
with their DPRK counterparts on the measures required to disable
the nuclear facilities on Friday after they concluded a two-day
visit to Yongbyong.
The experts visited the country at Pyongyang's invitation, which
was described as a "significant step toward the denuclearization of
the Korean Peninsula" by US Assistant Secretary of State
Christopher Hill last week.
The team is scheduled to leave Pyongyang on Saturday.
