Comments by MOFAT Spokesperson on Implementation of the October 3rd Agreement

Seoul--(뉴스와이어)--The ROK government noted the substantial progress being made in disablement measures at the three Yongbyon nuclear facilities in accordance with the February 13th and October 3rd agreements.

However, it is regrettable that the DPRK has not provided a declaration of all its nuclear programs by December 31, 2007, as committed in the October 3rd agreement.

The ROK government urges the DPRK to faithfully declare all nuclear programs at an early date and to complete disablement measures without delay.

The ROK government will continue to cooperate closely with all relevant parties in order to enter into the dismantlement phase as soon as possible by smoothly implementing corresponding measures, including the lifting of sanctions on the DPRK, in parallel with the DPRK's action for the second phase denuclearization measures of disablement and declaration.
