N Korea ready to discuss RF proposals if 6-way talks resume

PYONGYANG, March 15 (Itar-Tass) - North Korea ready to discuss at the six-party talks, if they are resumed, Russia's proposals in accordance with the joint statement of September 19, 2005 and "on the basis of interaction principle," an official of the country's Foreign Ministry said here on Tuesday, commenting on the outcome of negotiations with Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Alexei Borodavkin who was in Pyongyang on a visit.
Among these proposals there is a moratorium on the production and
testing of ballistic technology, consent to inspection of North Korea's uranium enrichment facility by IAEA experts and putting the "uranium dossier" of the country on the agenda of the talks.
The Russian diplomat told Itar-Tass before flying to Moscow that "the invitation for IAEA inspectors to return to the nuclear centre in Yongbyon" could become a positive step of North Korea.
The six-party talks were suspended in December 2008.
