North Korea: US has not delivered on aid promises

NORTH KOREA last night said it gave a list of its nuclear programmes to the US in November, claiming it tried to meet commitments under an international disarmament agreement and accusing the US of not doing its part to deliver aid.

North Korea also said because of the delays by the US and other parties to the six-nation talks, it was slowing the pace of disabling its nuclear facilities.

The US disputed North Korea’s claims it handed over the information but still expressed confidence the process was moving ahead.
