The Democratic People's Republic of Korea has expressed willingness to revive six-party talks aimed at persuading Pyongyang to scrap its declared nuclear arsenal.

DPRK state television reported the country would respond to an overture by the United States. Washington said last week State Department officials met DPRK diplomats at the United Nations in New York on May 13. The US side urged Pyongyang to return to the negotiating table. In return, Washington would recognize the DPRK as a sovereign state and not attack it. This signals a shift in policy emphasis. Washington had previously rejected separate dealings with Pyongyang.
