S Korea: North will gain from nuclear agreement

North Korea’s path to prosperity lies in implementing the promise it made at international disarmament talks to abandon its nuclear programmes, South Korean Finance Minister Han Duck-soo said today.

“We believe, and we presume, that there is a very high possibility for success because there is so much at stake on the part of North Korea to realise the contents of the six-party talks,” Han told a gathering of foreign business associations and diplomats.
