PYONGYANG
, North Korea
, Nov. 10 (UPI) -- North Korea said Friday the agreement to end its nuclear program includes removal from the U.S. list of states that sponsor terrorism.
The demand came in Chosun Shinbo
, a newspaper published in Japan that is often used as a vehicle by the secretive North Korean government
, the Yonhap news agency in South Korea reported.
The newspaper said North Korea
, referred to as the D.P.R.K.
, was fulfilling its part of the agreement reached in the six-party talks.
"What was agreed in the six-party talks is the D.P.R.K. would disable its nuclear facilities by the end of the year and
, in return, the United States would remove the D.P.R.K. from the list of terrorism-sponsoring states and end its application of the Trading with the Enemy Act."
Christopher Hill
, the chief U.S. negotiator at the six-party talks
, said North Korea may have to wait until the United States is completely satisfied that North Korea has rejected terrorist actions.
