SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - North Korea said Friday that establishing a peace agreement to replace the cease-fire that ended the Korean War would also resolve its nuclear standoff with the international community.
A peace pact would "lead to putting an end to the U.S. hostile policy toward (North Korea), which spawned the nuclear issue," a spokesman for the North's Foreign Ministry said in a statement. That would "automatically result in the denuclearization of the peninsula."
The unnamed spokesman, quoted by the North's official Korean Central News Agency, said such a move would "give a strong impetus" to international nuclear disarmament talks set to resume Tuesday in Beijing.
