 SEOUL, South Korea (AP) - The U.S. ambassador to South Korea urged North Korea to abandon its nuclear program, saying Tuesday that shedding the program would benefit the communist nation and boost global security.
Ambassador Alexander Vershbow also said he hopes that six-party negotiations aimed at getting North Korea to abandon its nuclear program will resume soon, though he did not offer a timeframe.
"It's in the interests of all countries and peoples, but most especially it's in the interests of the North Koreans themselves that the DPRK shed the albatross of its nuclear program and join the international community," U.S. Vershbow said in a speech sponsored by an economic institute in Seoul.
