North Korean leader wants peaceful resolution to nuclear stand-off
North Korean leader Kim Jong Il told China’s president he is committed to a peaceful resolution of the stand-off over the North’s nuclear ambitions as he wrapped up a week-long, secrecy-shrouded trip to his last major ally.
Immediately after Kim’s departure, the US envoy to stalled six-nation disarmament talks made a surprise visit to Beijing that reportedly included a meeting with his North Korean counterpart, though neither side released any details.
