| North Korea has welcomed a US
decision to remove it from a
list of state sponsors of
terrorism. A foreign ministry
spokesman in Pyongyang said
the North would now resume
disabling its nuclear
facilities and allow
international monitors access.
There's been a mixed reaction
in the region to the US
decision. South Korea welcomed
the US decision. Its nuclear
envoy, Kim Sook, said the
development would help to
encourage further
negotiations. But Japan
escribed it as "extremely
regrettable". Japan wants
action on its citizens who
were abducted by North Korea. |
