NKorea's goal is nuclear-free peninsula: Kim : HindustanTimes.com: "North Korean leader Kim Jong Il told a visiting Chinese envoy that his country wants a nuclear-free Korean Peninsula, the two governments said.

Kim expressed hope that six-nation nuclear talks could be an important platform for realizing that goal, the two governments said in state media reports. A new round of talks -- involving the two Koreas, the United States, China, Russia and Japan -- is expected to begin in Beijing the week of July 25.

Kim made his remarks to Chinese State Councilor Tang Jiaxuan, who was visiting the North as President Hu Jintao's personal representative.

Kim said 'the denuclearisations of the Korean Peninsula was the behest of President Kim Il Sung,' his late father and the North's long time former leader, the North's Korean Central News Agency reported. According to the report, Kim said it was Pyongyang's 'consistent stand to seek a negotiated peaceful solution of the nuclear issue.'"
