[0007]

MOSCOW - North Korea's ambassador to Russia said on Thursday that his country supports multilateral talks, including Russia, to ease tensions surrounding Pyongyang's nuclear program, the Russian Foreign Ministry said in a statement.

North Korea has previously said it would be willing to participate in multilateral talks on the condition it first has bilateral talks with the United States. Washington has insisted on talks involving a number of countries, including South Korea and Japan.

Ambassador Pak Ui Chun met with Deputy Russian Foreign Minister Yuri Fedotov and said his leadership had instructed him to express North Korea's support for "six-sided talks with the participation of Russia on resolving the current complex situation on the Korean Peninsula," the ministry said in a statement.
