The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) does not have divergence with other countries on understanding the concept of "disablement", chief negotiator of the Republic of Korea (ROK) to the six-party talks Chun Yung Woo said here Tuesday.

The DPRK hopes to achieve "disablement" within a couple of months, Chun added.

According to a document reached on Feb. 13 in the last round of six-party talks which spelled out the initial steps for the DPRK's denuclearization, the DPRK agreed to shut down and seal its Yongbyon nuclear complex and accept International Atomic Energy Agency inspectors within 60 days.

In exchange, other parties will start providing Pyongyang with energy equivalent to 50,000 tons of heavy fuel oil within that time frame.

Chun stressed that nuclear weapons are subject to destruction instead of disablement as the ROK hopes to achieve complete rather than partial denuclearization.

He also said the six parties have not discussed specific proposals on storing heavy fuel oil to be sent to the DPRK in a third country.

The six round of six-party talks, grouping China, the DPRK, the United States, the ROK, Japan and Russia, started Monday in Beijing.
