SEOUL, South Korea — South Korea’s president is calling for urgency in dismantling North Korea’s atomic-weapons program, saying the country’s nuclear disarmament must be achieved through diplomacy.
President Lee Myung-Bak made the remarks today. He cited as a reason for urgency the North’s push to build a powerful nation in 2012 during the 100th year after the birth of the country’s founder, Kim Il- Sung. It was not clear whether Lee’s comments reflected a new flexibility on when to resume the talks.
