북한, 미국의 식량 지원 감시 인정 - 식량지원 합의
북한은 미국이 요구하는 식량지원에 따른 모니터링 을 인정, 미국은 500,000 톤의 식량지원을 북한과 합의, 아직 해결되어야 할 문제는 있지만, 정말 식량이 필요한 사람들에게 분배될것이라고 미국당국은 강조했다.
WASHINGTON (AFP) — The United States said Friday it will send 500,000 metric tonnes of emergency food aid to North Korea over the next year under a deal with Pyongyang permitting better monitoring of deliveries.
The US Agency for International Development (USAID) said it hoped shipments, which were suspended in January 2006 when the Stalinist state "severely limited humanitarian monitoring and access," would resume in June under the deal.
Operational details remain to be worked out, however.
"We're responding to a situation in dire need," USAID spokesman David Snider told AFP as US experts warned that North Korea faced the risk of a new famine, a decade after up to one million people died of starvation.
