The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) plans to join international efforts to implement a total ban on nuclear weapons tests, an ambassador for the country told the United Nations disarmament body on Tuesday.
"[The] DPRK will join international desires and efforts for a total ban on nuclear tests," the country's ambassador to the UN in Geneva Han Tae Song said in an address to the Conference on Disarmament.
The country has scheduled the dismantling of its nuclear test site for some time between May 23 and 25, state media reported on Saturday, upholding its previous pledge to discontinue nuclear tests.
All international journalists will be provided with a charter flight into Wonsan, a port city in eastern DPRK, from Beijing, KCNA said. There, reporters will board a charter train to the nuclear test ground in an “uninhabited deep mountain area.”
