http://www.interfax.ru/e/B/politics/28.html?id_issue=11364213 MOSCOW Aug 17 (Interfax) - North Korea does not rule out returning to the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons, Russian presidential envoy in the Far East Federal District Konstantin Pulikovsky told Interfax on Wednesday after his return from North Korea. 【インターファクス/モスクワ 8/17】「北朝鮮は核不拡散条約(NPT)へ復帰を否定せず。」 ロシア極東管区全権代表 コンスタンチン・プリコフスキ氏は北朝鮮から帰国後 インターファクス通信の取材に答えて述べた。
Pulikovsky said he visited North Korea following an invitation from its leader Kim Chong-il to attend celebrations of the 60th anniversary of the liberation of Korea. プリコフスキ氏は北朝鮮指導者 金正日氏による朝鮮解放60周年記念式典への 参加招聘をうけて北朝鮮を訪問したと述べた。
"I met with the North Korean leader on several occasions, including in an informal setting. Naturally, we spoke about the nuclear issue," Pulikovsky said. 「私は北朝鮮指導者と公式の場を含む複数の機会に渡って会合をもった。 当然ながら、我々は核問題に関しても協議した」とプリコフスキ氏は述べた。
>>37に加えての、プリコフスキ氏語録 "Kim Chong-il is positive about the six-nation talks on the nuclear problem on the Korean Peninsula and said he would not need a single nuclear warhead if the United States stops threatening his country. Kim Chong-il thinks that understanding of the problem is growing on all sides during the six-party talks,"
Pulikovsky said the North Korean leader "does not rule out returning to the Treaty on the Nonproliferation of Nuclear Weapons in the absence of a threat from the United States." プリコフスキは北朝鮮指導者が「合衆国からの脅迫がなければ、核不拡散条約への 復帰もない訳ではない」と述べた。
"Kim Chong-il said, however, that if North Korea comes under real threat, his country would be able to defend itself," Pulikovsky said. But he told the Russian official that North Korea "plans to further develop the nuclear energy sector for peaceful purposes." 「金正日は、もし北朝鮮が実体を伴った脅迫を受けるのならば、我が国は自衛する事が 出来ると述べた。」とプリコフスキは言う。しかし、彼はロシア政府関係者に「北朝鮮は 平和目的分野の原子力のさらなる開発を計画している」と述べた。
Asked about the North Korean leaders' health, Pulikovsky said that "he has a firm handshake." "He looks excellent and said he would like to visit Russia again," he said. 北朝鮮指導者の健康状態を尋ねられて、プリコフスキは「彼の握手は力強いものだった」 「彼は体調が良い様に見え、ロシアへの再訪をしたいと言った」と述べた。
