NO TERRORISM LIST REMOVAL BEFORE N.K.'S DECLARATION: US ENVOY.
WASHINGTON, Feb 1 Asia Pulse - The top U.S. envoy to South Korea affirmed Thursday that his government will not remove North Korea from its list of terrorism-sponsoring states until the communist state provides a full declaration of its nuclear stockpile and activities.
Ambassador Alexander Vershbow called rumours that Washington is considering a phased removal of Pyongyang from the list "idle speculation." Expressing his disappointment that North Korea delayed its actions pledged in the six-party talks, the envoy said that the U.S. "will persevere."
On the free trade agreement (FTA) with South Korea, Vershbow said the clock is ticking in Washington with the upcoming presidential election.
"The window is narrow for congressional action this year," he said, after pressing Seoul to promptly reopen its market to U.S. beef.
With the resolution of the beef issue, the U.S. "can get the process started beginning in spring and get a vote ideally before the summer recess," he said.
Vershbow was in the U.S. making an annual tour of major cities with his South Korean counterpart, Amb. Lee Tae-sik, in an effort to muster public support for the bilateral alliance and the FTA.
South Korea and the U.S. are members of what is known as the six-party talks, aimed at making the Korean Peninsula nuclear-free.
