North Korea agreed on Wednesday to stop nuclear tests, uranium enrichment and long-range missile launches, and to allow nuclear inspectors to visit its Yongbyon nuclear complex to verify the moratorium has been enforced.

The breakthrough, announced simultaneously by the US state department and North Korea’s official news agency, paves the way for a resumption of six-party disarmament negotiations with Pyongyang and follows talks between US and North Korean diplomats in Beijing last week.

It also appears to mark a significant policy shift by North Korea’s reclusive leadership following the death in December of veteran leader Kim Jong-il – although analysts cautioned that Pyongyang has backtracked repeatedly on past deals.

  1. Everyone knows that only the fat govt troops will get the food, the starvation of the people will continue. Why can’t they grow their own?

  2. Yep. Start buying and storing food while it’s still cheap.

  3. instead of a sign saying welcome to n. korea.. it should say n. korea… will work for food.

  4. Guaranteed GMO.

  5. This whole North Korea game has been going on like this for about as long as I can remember.

    They make threats, we make counter-threats, we give them food and they get quite for a little while …

    Sort of reminds me of a Paul Mooney comedy video about ‘weapons of mass destruction’:

  6. NK’s past administration would hesitate from their diplomatic obligations, whenever they wanted to renegotiate.

    • I believe that wholesome foods can be grown in NK’s unfriendly climate, but they contradict their own doctrine of Juche (loosely translated as self-reliance) with foreign fare.

      This will be distributed, preferentially, to collaborators, at the expense of those who could have been independently-productive.

  7. Now that the North Coms. Leaders have what they want ( in the way of nukes in stock) they will get food aid … NONE of wich any of thier people will ever see, and get fatter and richer…..

  8. Good news!!!! Nukes are for wimps!

  9. oh goody now we can send all that nice GMO grain to them instead of making us eat it…

  10. Iran would never attack Israel. They want nukes alright ,so they can be like the north Koreans,a burr in the saddle of the Rothschild bankers only with oil.

    • Tired of hearing that twelvers plan for a future.

      • No kidding,long ago
