North Korea has agreed to suspend its nuclear weapons programme, prompting the US to reward the impoverished country with up to 240,000 tonnes of food aid, media reports said.
The assistance will be delivered in shipments of 20,000 tonnes each for the next 12 months, diplomatic sources told South Korea’s Yonhap News Agency.
The US decided to provide food aid to North Korea, as it met a key demand of the Obama administration for the resumption of disarmament talks.
