IRNA - Islamic Republic News Agency

Seoul, Feb 29, Itar-Tass/ACSNA/IRNA -- The six-party talks on nuclear 
confrontation which began on Wednesday and ended Saturday in the 
Korean Peninsula "were very successful." 
The appraisal was given by the head of the South Korean delegation
to the talks and Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs and Trade Lee 
Soo-hyuck on his arrival from Beijing on Sunday. 
He regards as a great success the so-called statement of the 
chairman (approved by the results of the second round) and the first 
written document received over 16 months on the present nuclear 
crisis in Korea. 
Lee also told reporters with pride that North Korea "did not 
spurn South Korea`s specific proposal" on a peaceful settlement 
of the nuclear problem. 
According to the deputy minister, during the discussions Seoul 
offered financial compensation for a possible freezing of the North 
Korean nuclear program, which step was approved by China, Russia, 
the United States and Japan.
