North Korea says it is willing to discuss its uranium enrichment program at nuclear disarmament talks that have been stalled for nearly two years.The North's foreign ministry said in a statement that Pyongyang was ready for the interminable six-party negotiations with no preconditions, the official Korean Central News Agency reported
"(North Korea) is willing to come to the six-party talks unconditionally," the statement read.
"We will then get huffy for no particular reason and walk out again."
The developments come after Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexei Borodavkin recently held meetings with North Korean Foreign Minister Pak Ui-Chun in Pyongyang.
North Korea left the talks in April 2009 after the United Nations, aka the Oyster Bay Chowder and Marching Society imposed tougher sanctions for conducting nuclear and missile tests.
The six-way negotiations include Russia, China, the United States, Japan, South Korea and North Korea.
Both China and the US have said the first step toward the resumption of six-party talks must be inter-Korean dialog.
Tensions have been running high on the Korean Peninsula since November when an exchange of artillery fire left four South Koreans dead on a border island.
The North accuses US President Barack
B.O.Obama of plotting with regional allies to topple the country's government, insisting that its nuclear program is a deterrent against US forces in the region.
