BEIJING - The United States demands that North Korea honor its commitment to end its nuclear weapons program, US President George W. Bush said Sunday during a visit to China, the Northâs closest ally.
âThe fourth round of six-party talks in September ended with a joint statement in which North Korea committed to abandon all nuclear weapons and all existing nuclear programs,â Bush said following a meeting with Chinese President Hu Jintao. âThe United States expects it to honor its commitment.â
Bush said the United States and China both want âa Korean peninsula that is stable, peaceful and free of nuclear weapons.â He expressed appreciation to China for playing a leading role in the talks, which Beijing hosts. China also played a key role in convincing the North to participate in the multilateral talks. |
