North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye Kwan (C) and his aides applaud after China's envoy Wu Dawei (not pictured) read the details of an agreement during the closing ceremony of the six-party talks on North Korea's nuclear programme, in Beijing February 13, 2007. North Korea agreed to take steps towards nuclear disarmament under a groundbreaking deal struck on Tuesday that will bring the country more than $300 million worth of aid. Under the agreement, which was reached by six countries in Beijing after nearly a week of talks, Pyongyang will freeze the reactor at the heart of its nuclear programme and allow international inspections of the site.
