North Korea Declaration Coming

AS Hill says North Korea will submit in days its declaration of activities:

I think they will be providing a declaration to the chair of the six parties, that is to the Chinese. And that will be addressed in the coming days and weeks, as soon as China is able to schedule a Six-Party meeting.

He later told a group in South Korea that he expected the declaration “in the next few days, certainly within the next week.”

This, by the way, will be a draft, on which the US will comment, as Hill explained in Japan:

Well, I think the complete listing of the nuclear programs is going to be a process. That is, I don’t think it will be done in one day. I think it will involve the DPRK giving us a draft. And then I think there will be discussions, and there will be adjustments to the draft. So I think it’s a process that will be completed this month, but not on this day.

Should be interesting.
