BEIJING-- Representatives from six parties to the Korean nuke talks will head for Yongbyon in Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) from November 27 to 29, Foreign Ministry spokesman Qin Gang announced here Monday.

Qin said the six parties, China, the DPRK, the United States, the Republic of Korea (ROK), Russia and Japan, have agreed to jointly send representatives there to learn about the implementation of nuclear facilities disablement.

The DPRK shut down Yongbyon nuclear reactor in July. It agreed to disable all existing nuclear facilities and to provide a complete and correct declaration of all its nuclear programs by the end of this year, according to a joint document released on October 3 when the second phase of the sixth round of six-party talks ended in Beijing.

The document said the disabling of the five megawatt Experimental Reactor, the Reprocessing Plant (Radiochemical Laboratory) and the Nuclear Fuel Rod Fabrication Facility in Yongbyon would be completed by December 31.
