Kim Jong Il Offers to Scale Back Missile Programs in Exchange for US Ties
Senior South Korean officials say North Korean leader Kim Jong Il may be willing to give up his country's missile capabilities in exchange for diplomatic ties with Washington. News of Mr. Kim's offer comes ____________ of four days of cabinet-level talks between South and North Korea.
South Korean Unification Minister Chung Dong-young told a cabinet meeting Monday that North Korean leader Kim Jong Il has offered to end North Korea's missile programs ____________ formal ties with the United States.
The United States has never had diplomatic relations with North Korea, and has indicated in the past that it would be reluctant to improve relations with Pyongyang as long as it is building nuclear weapons.
Mr. Chung told ministers the North Korean leader made the offer during their meeting in Pyongyang last week. At the same meeting, Mr. Kim also said he would be willing to return to multi-lateral talks aimed at ending the nuclear-weapons program by July - if Washington "recognized and respected Pyongyang as a partner" in the talks.
