North Korea has agreed to multilateral talks on the crisis over its nuclear ambitions, White House spokesman Mr Scott McClellan said today.
"This would include six-party talks," he said. "In terms of the actual details and timing, that is still being worked out in consultation with our friends and allies in the region."
Mr McClellan did not name the six parties but they were expected to be the United States, North Korea, South Korea, Japan, Russia and China.
