The meeting on 12 February comes after the Board met to discuss the DPRK on 6 January, adopting a resolution calling on Pyongyang to cooperate with international safeguards and to readmit inspectors.
IAEA Director-General Mohamed ElBaradei, who briefed the Board during that January meeting, said afterwards, "I hope the DPRK will seize this opportunity to come into compliance. I hope [it] will understand that compliance, and not defiance, is the way towards a solution to this issue."
