北 "23~25일에 핵실험장 폐기할 것"... 북미회담 앞두고 美에 신뢰쌓기 움직임?
North Korea said both before and after the inter-Korean summit last month that it will decommission its nuclear test site to prove it's halting its nuclear program.
Now Pyongyang has revealed the details of its plan.
It says the tunnels at Punggye-ri... used to test nuclear devices... will be blown up... and all other related facilities taken down in a ceremony next week.
And journalists are invited to watch it for themselves.
Oh Jung-hee reports.
The date is finally out.
North Korea's foreign ministry announced a specific schedule of when and how it'll dismantle its northern Punggye-ri nuclear test site.
"A ceremony for dismantling the nuclear test site will take place between May 23rd and 25th, depending on weather conditions."
Pyongyang says explosives will be used to collapse all the tunnels at the test site; entry to the site will be completely blocked, and the observation facilities, research institutes and guard units will be removed.
As all this takes place, guards and researchers will be taken out... and the surrounding area will be completely shut down.
To show this transparently, the North says, it will invite journalists from overseas for on-site coverage.
But the invitation is going out only to those from five countries -- South Korea, the United States, the United Kingdom, China and Russia -- due to the test site's small size.
In 2008, when the North destroyed a cooling tower for a nuclear reactor in Yongbyon, the regime invited one broadcaster each from Seoul, Washington, Tokyo and Beijing... but it remains to be seen what will happen this time.
The regime is to provide the press with accommodation, chartered flights from Beijing to North Korea's eastern city of Wonsan, and special trains to move from Wonsan to the test site.
A press center is also to be set up so journalists can file their reports -- meaning, the dismantlement process is not likely to be broadcast live, but as recorded footage.
Views are that this action by the regime shows a firm will to denuclearize,... especially because once this site is demolished, it would be difficult for Pyongyang to find another spot with the right conditions to replace it.
The U.S. has recently told the North that if the regime completely denuclearizes, it would be able to achieve economic development and even prosperity.
So Pyongyang may be wanting to give out a clear sign that it's denuclearizing and request that the U.S. take sincere steps in return.
