According to him, a part of the Declaration, signed on the results of the Russian-North Korean summit, to the effect that Pyongyang's missile programme is peaceful in nature arouses a similar reaction. Nevertheless, the British diplomat pointed out, London shares the anxiety of the world community concerning the preservation of the regime of non-proliferation of mass destruction weapons. The British side is going to touch upon this question during bilateral contacts with DPRK representatives at various levels. The official Foreign Office representative did not answer the question whether London is ready, in connection with such statements of the North Korean leader, to look at US plans of deploying the NMD system in a new way.-O-(lio/ant) 07/08/01 09:45 6) WASHINGTON FOLLOWS KIM'S VISIT TO RUSSIA ========================================== WASHINGTON, AUGUST 7, 2001 /FROM RIA NOVOSTI CORRESPONDENT ARKADY ORLOV/ -- The USA is following Kim Jong-Il's visit to Russia with great interest and welcomes North Korea's cooperation with other countries, said official spokesman for the US Department of State Richard Boucher.
