 BEIJING (AP) - North Korean leader Kim Jong Il promised Friday to take part in the next round of nuclear talks in November, Chinese state TV reported, as China's president made a rare personal visit to Pyongyang to lobby for progress in disarmament efforts.
Kim reportedly told Chinese President Hu Jintao that the North was committed to a nuclear-free Korean peninsula.
It was the Stalinist dictatorship's highest-level commitment yet to push ahead with talks aimed at stripping North Korea of its nuclear programs.
