North Korea response on talks sparks optimism on nuclear crisis.
(From Agence France Presse)
North Korea's decision to accept six-party talks triggered optimism here and in Washington that a breakthrough could be imminent in the nine-month-old showdown over the communist state's nuclear weapons drive.
The United States said crisis negotiations could open as early as next month after Russia announced Thursday that North Korea had accepted the US offer for talks.
Pyongyang's response was contained in a message delivered by North Korea's ambassador to Moscow, Pak Ui-Chun, to Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Yury Fedotov on Thursday.
"On his leadership's instructions, the ambassador said that North Korea supports holding six-nation talks with Russia's participation to resolve the current difficult situation on the Korean peninsula, and is taking active steps to organise (these talks)," the ministry said in a statement.
North Korea's move came a day after US President George W. Bush spoke to Chinese President Hu Jintao, whose country has been spearheading efforts to engage North Korea in multilateral talks.
"At this moment we have indications that we find very encouraging," said State Department spokesman Richard Boucher.
