Six-party talks briefing report
The Six-Party Talks involve the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (North Korea), the Republic of Korea (South Korea), the People’s Republic of China, the Russian Federation and the United States. The talks were implemented in August 2003 following North Korea’s admittance of its uranium-enrichment programs and withdrawal from the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT). The dominant purpose of the Six-Party Talks has remained the complete, verifiable denuclearization of North Korea in a peaceful manner.
