North Korean Alleged Nuclear Plans Aimed at Drawing US Attention
The six-party talks on North Korean nuclear weapons program should be renewed to prevent the worsening of situation on the Korean peninsula, Park said at a joint press conference with Abe and Li.

The six-party talks, comprising North Korea, South Korea, Japan, China, Russia and the United States, were launched in 2003 after Pyongyang withdrew from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The negotiations stalled in 2009 after North Korea refused to take part in further discussions.

Apart from the Pyongyang nuclear military program, the sides of the summit discussed a wide range of the economic and trade cooperation issues as well as strengthening of multilateral cooperation between three states.
