N. Korea wants bank accounts unfrozen

The North barely alluded to its October 9 nuclear test in the statement carried by the official Korean Central News Agency, and didn't say whether it remained committed to an earlier agreement to abandon its nuclear ambitions - a possible sign that negotiators could be facing another round of frustrating dialogue when the talks resume.

North Korea also emphasized that a direct meeting with the US during previously unpublicized negotiations Tuesday in Beijing, had made the diplomatic breakthrough possible. US President George W. Bush, who has long shunned direct talks with Pyongyang, credited China's mediation for the agreement.

"Bilateral and multilateral contacts took place in Beijing on October 31 with (the) main emphasis on the contact between the DPRK (North Korea) and the US," it said.

The North only briefly noted that the country "recently took a self-defensive countermeasure against the US daily increasing nuclear threat and financial sanctions against it."

The nuclear talks - which include China, Japan, Russia, the United States and the two Koreas - reached an agreement in September 2005 where the North pledged to abandon its nuclear program in exchange for aid and security guarantees, but there was little progress toward implementing the accord.

The US had previously maintained that the financial issue was a matter of law enforcement separate from the nuclear talks. But in Beijing on Tuesday, the chief US nuclear envoy, Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill, said Washington agreed to take up the matter in the revived arms negotiations.

However, there were conflicting signals from the United States. White House press secretary Tony Snow later insisted the United States made no promises to link the financial dispute to the nuclear one, but only agreed that "issues like that may be discussable at some future time."

Hill said Tuesday that the nuclear talks could resume as easy as November or December, but acknowledged the negotiations still had a long way to go.

In Washington, Bush cautiously welcomed Tuesday's deal and thanked the Chinese for brokering it. But he said the agreement would not sidetrack US efforts to enforce sanctions adopted by the UN Security Council to punish Pyongyang for the nuclear test. Those measures ban the North's weapons trade and other items such as luxury goods.

In Tokyo, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yasuhisa Shiozaki said Japan will maintain sanctions on the North until it abandons its nuclear development.

South Korea's Yu also told lawmakers Wednesday in Seoul that "just coming to the talks itself won't affect the level of Security Council sanctions" against North Korea.

South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun announced a shake-up Wednesday of top Cabinet security positions, naming a new foreign minister, unification minister, defense minister and spy chief.

The reshuffle was triggered by the appointment of the current foreign minister, Ban Ki-moon, as the next UN Secretary-General and last week's resignation by the unification minister, who offered to step down to apologize for policy failures after the North's nuclear test. Two other top-level officials also handed in their resignations last week citing separate reasons.
