U.S., North Korea may hold talks on North's missile sales, MTCR status

Article Abstract:

North Korea has agreed to hold talks with the US on abstaining from missile sales and entering the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR). US conditions require that the MTCR member countries should not possess missiles above the Regime's 500-kilogram/300-kilogram threshold. The Regime does not intervene in national space programs if they refrain from producing delivery systems for weapons of mass destruction. The US State Department believes that US emergency food aid to North Korea may motivate it to participate in the missile talks.
