(2nd LD) N. Korean leader reiterates pledge to denuclearize Korean Peninsula: report
By Byun Duk-kun
SEOUL, Feb. 9 (Yonhap) -- North Korean leader Kim Jong-il has told a senior Chinese envoy that Pyongyang will continue to seek the "denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula," a report said Tuesday, though it was unclear whether Kim indicated any willingness to rejoin stalled international nuclear talks.
China's Xinhua news agency also quoted Kim as saying during his meeting with Wang Jiarui, head of the international department of the Communist Party of China, that the "sincerity of relevant parties to resume the six-party talks is very important."
But it stopped short of saying whether the North's leader said the country will rejoin the stalled six-nation talks on ending its nuclear weapons programs, which involve the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States. The talks have been deadlocked for more than a year.
