GENEVA (Reuters) - North Korea agreed in weekend talks with the United States to fully account for and disable its nuclear programs by the end of this year, negotiators said on Sunday.
"We had very good, very substantive talks," U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Chris Hill told reporters. "One thing that we agreed on is that (North Korea) will provide a full declaration of all of their nuclear programs and will disable their nuclear programs by the end of this year, 2007."

If the verification is done effectively, then great. If not, then this may be no better than Jimmy Carter's "Agreed Framework" arrangement that eventually led to North Korea's nuclear weapons tests.
It would be nice if North Korea would start down the same sort of reform path that China has taken. Not that China is trustworthy just yet.Hat tip to Captain's Quarters.
