N. Korea Firm on Nuclear “Right”
North Korea has again insisted that its right to develop a civilian nuclear programme is not up for negotiation – just hours before talks in Beijing.
The six-party negotiations, which resumed after a six-week break, are aimed at persuading Pyongyang to give up its nuclear ambitions.
Speaking just before he left for Beijing, North Korean envoy Kim Gye-gwan said his country had a right to “peaceful nuclear activity”. “This right is neither awarded nor needs to be approved by others,” he told Chinese news agency Xinhua.
