U.S. Department of State Daily Press Briefing, March 24, 2008:

QUESTION: The first [question on North Korea]: Has North Korea suggested additional bilateral talk with the U.S. after the recent Geneva meeting? And my second question is: Washington Post reported yesterday that North Korea had made a secret agreement to provide technical know-how and some materials for the reactor with Syria. Do you have any comment on this report?

MR. [Sean] MCCORMACK: In terms of – in terms of the last part of your question, we have said that the North Korean declaration needs to be full and complete. That means talking about their plutonium program, their HEU program, as well as any proliferation-related activities. I’m not aware of any request for any further consultations within the context of the six-party talks with our – between the United States and North Korea. I’ll check with Chris Hill to see if there is anything, but at this point, I’m not aware of any.
