CNN reported today that North Korea accepted the return of US inspectors on its soil in charge of overseeing its nuclear program in order to ease tensions on the Korean peninsula. This comes as a results of meetings held by New Mexico governor Bill Richardson, who was accompanied by CNN's Wolf Blitzer.
Blitzer made the following statement:
'The Democratic Republic of North Korea has agreed to authorize the IAEA's monitors to return to one of the country's nuclear sites, and has agreed to negotiate the sale of 12,000 new rods of fuel and their routing to a foreign country, most likely South Korea. The fuel rods could be enough to manufacture about six to eight nuclear weapons'.
Blitzer added that the DPRK also agreed to the creation of a military commission and the installation of a hot line between the two Koreas and the United States.
