The most important thing for the ongoing six-party talks is to
achieve concrete progress in denuclearization in the Korean
Peninsula, Kim Kye-gwan, head of the North Korean delegation, said
on Tuesday.??
Reopening the talks is very important, but it is more important
to achieve concrete progress during the talks, said Kim, also North
Korean vice foreign minister, at the opening ceremony of the fourth
round of the six-party talks.
It needs political will and strategic resolution of all the
parties concerned to wipe out all the threats of a nuclear war on
the Korean Peninsula and to realize a nuclear-weapon-free Korean
Peninsula, he said.
"The North Korean delegation promises that it has got ready for
that," said Kim, adding that he believed that the US and other
delegations had also been ready for the goal.
If all the participants could take an attitude of cooperation
and understanding, the goal of denuclearization would be realized,
he said.
He promised the North Korean side would work together with the
other five parties to prevent the meeting from becoming one without
any concrete progress.
