U.S. Ambassador to Korea Kathleen Stephens says Seoul and Washington need to negotiate changes to their nuclear agreement based on the understanding that peaceful nuclear development is important to Korea. In an interview with Yonhap News Agency, Stephens said that although Korea has not yet officially requested such talks she sees the negotiation as part of a continuous discussion as science keeps advancing.
This comes amid a push in Korea to build more nuclear power plants while the agreement in place with the U.S., due to expire in 2014, prevents Korea from reprocessing its nuclear fuel.
