Powell: Aid for North Korea Depends on Arms Negotiations - 2004-10-27


U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell says an aid package is waiting for North Korea but is dependent on its willingness to negotiate.

Mr. Powell said in a television interview Wednesday that the United States wants action from North Korea on ending its nuclear weapons program before getting what he called "deeply involved" in granting aid.

He also said resumption of the six-nation talks on the nuclear program depends on North Korea, saying the other five parties are ready to re-start the stalled talks right away.

Earlier Wednesday, the United States' top arms control official, Undersecretary of State John Bolton, told reporters that North Korea, Iran, and Syria are among the worst proliferators of weapons of mass destruction.
