There are talks of establishing normal diplomatic relations with North Korea in return for relinquishing its nuclear ambitions and to consider removing the country from the terrorism designation. The parties to the agreement include South Korea, Russia, Japan, China, U.S. and North Korea.

I think it's a sign that this current phase of disabling is an ambitious phase," Hill said. "We have a lot of work to do. It's a sign of the seriousness of purpose that all parties, including the North Koreans, bring to bear on this issue."

Hill is accompanying President Bush, who is here attending the 21-nation Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. Hill made the announcement during a White House briefing on Bush's activities, which included a tense meeting earlier Friday with South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun.
