North Korea’s top negotiator to the six-way nuclear talks says his country is ready to implement the agreement drafted this week at the nuclear talks in Beijing.

Arriving at the Pyongyang airport from Beijing, Kim Kye-kwan told officials at the Russian and Chinese embassies in Pyongyang that discussions at the nuclear negotiations had been good.

Under the nuclear deal, North Korea pledged to shut down its nuclear facilities in Yongbyon within 60 days as the initial step in realizing a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula.

The agreement provides that, in return for shutting down the Yongbyon facilities and allowing International Atomic Energy Agency inspections, North Korea will receive energy aid equivalent to 50-thousand tons of heavy fuel oil.

Moreover, if it takes further steps to report and disable all nuclear facilities, the North will receive an additional 950-thousand tons of energy aid.
