§ Mr. RoyTo ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what UK involvement there has been in the negotiations with North Korea. [160264]
§ Mr. RammellThe UK fully supports the six-party talks process which was established to find a peaceful resolution to the issue of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) nuclear programmes. We have not participated directly in the talks. However, we maintain close contacts with all the participants, including DPRK. We will also continue to urge DPRK to engage constructively in the process and dismantle its nuclear programme completely, irreversibly and verifiably.
