WASHINGTON (CNN) — North Korea has taken an “important first step” toward coming clean over its nuclear weapons program, the U.S. envoy to North Korea, Sung Kim, said Tuesday. He brought nearly 19,000 pages of documents with him to the United States from Pyongyang, representing what he said appeared to be complete logs of the secretive country’s nuclear program going back to the 1980s. They are in Korean and need to be translated, which will take several weeks, he said. A team of experts will conduct a review and will have preliminary results in a few weeks. He said Congress will be briefed. Sung Kim described his discussions with the North Koreans as “productive.” –From State Department correspondent Zain Verjee |
