韓國中國將討論平壤的非核化建議
韓國首席核談判代表目前在北京準備進行會談，討論如果恢復六方會談，將如何應對朝鮮提出的凍結其核武及導彈項目的新建議。美國已經對這一建議表示歡迎，但聲稱這還不足以恢復六方會談。韓國特使魏聖洛在星期四抵達北京時說，朝鮮的建議將是他與中國核談判代表武大偉討論的問題之一。
South Korea's chief nuclear negotiator is in Beijing for talks that will deal with a new North Korean proposal to freeze its nuclear weapons and missile programs if six-nation talks are United States has already welcomed the offer but said it was not sufficient for a resumption of talks. The South Korean envoy, Wi Sun-lac, said on arrival in Beijing Thursday that the North Korean offer was one of the issues that would come up in his talks with China's nuclear negotiator, Wu Dawei.
美國和韓國幾個月來一直堅持說，在美韓同意恢復六方會談之前，朝鮮必須遵守以往有關取消其核項目的承諾。六方會談將爲平壤提供經濟和外交方面的好處，作爲對朝鮮非核化的回報。
The United States and South Korea have insisted for months that North Korea must honor its past promises to dismantle its nuclear programs before they will agree to a resumption of the six-party talks, which would offer Pyongyang economic and diplomatic incentives to denuclearize.
