N.Korea Close to Making Nuclear Declaration: Hill By REUTERS Published: May 19, 2008 Filed at 5:53 p.m. ET Skip to next paragraph WASHINGTON (Reuters) - U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Chris Hill said on Monday North Korea was near the point where it would produce an overdue declaration of its nuclear programs but he declined to predict when this might happen. "We are getting to the point where the declaration is coming," Hill told reporters. "I can't tell you precisely days or weeks but I think we are getting to the point where we are going to be, possibly, getting to this declaration." The declaration is part of a broader multilateral deal under which North Korea, which detonated an atomic device in October 2006, has agreed to abandon all its nuclear programs in exchange for economic and diplomatic incentives. The six-party agreement was struck by the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States. Speaking after talks with senior South Korean and Japanese officials, Hill said he anticipated the pace of the process to speed up and that he expected to visit Beijing and Moscow to consult Chinese and Russian officials. "We expect to have, kind of, a quickening pace in the next few weeks," he told reporters standing beside South Korea's Kim Sook and Japan's Akitaka Saiki, who represent their countries at the six-party talks.
