In a deal with the United States, North Korea has agreed to a moratorium on nuclear enrichment and testing in exchange for food aid.
The announcement follows sit-down negotiations between the US and North Korea last week in Beijing.
In return for 240,000 tonnes of food aid, Pyongyang has agreed to suspend uranium enrichment and long-range missile tests, and allow United Nations inspectors to monitor the Yongbyon reactor.
North Korea says the US is also holding out the possibility of lifting sanctions once formal disarmament talks resume.
The UN nuclear watchdog is calling it an important step forward, but US secretary of state Hillary Clinton has been more cautious in her response.
NK signed the NPT which enabled them to get assistance with their nuclear program then they broke the agrement by producing weapons.
The sanctions are a result of them breaking the NPT which they have since withdrawn from.
His old man did a bit of sabre rattling to get food for his starving people we have to wait and see if they are serious about dropping their nuclear weapons program.
North Korea has 17,000 artillery pieces dug in and all have the capital of South Korea in range.
Why does the west have to support the starving people who are in that position because of a dictator?
With a country like NK - the only way to change it is through economics
Like you said they have weapons so a frontal assault will not work.
NK is no fool. Firing any weapons at SK will mean the end of NK. Retaliation from SK and the West will wipe them out.
China and Russia will not come to their aid because both countries have to much at stake in the West.
The new leadership team knows this and this may be it's only way it can gracefully save face
