North Korea Agrees to IAEA-Led Inspections
North Korea has agreed "in principle" to accept verification by International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors of its denuclearization, in line with repeated demands from the U.S. to take concrete steps toward nuclear disarmament, The Korea Times reports.
"Nuclear negotiators from the United States and North Korea reached a tentative agreement under which IAEA inspectors will have access to nuclear and missile testing sites in the North for verification of their dismantlement in due time," an official familiar with the matter told The Korea Times, Tuesday.
Speaking on condition of anonymity, he said specific dates and places, as well as programs for IAEA visits to North Korea, and other details will be dealt with in the discussions.
"North Korea will guarantee the safety of IAEA inspectors and their activities until the verification process is complete. Pyongyang will comply with its obligations under the U.N Security Council (UNSC) resolutions to cooperate with the IAEA and properly address outstanding issues," according to the official. IAEA inspectors were asked to leave the North in 2009.
