Negotiators from six-nation talks in China have agreed steps to verify North Korea's nuclear disarmament.
Officials from China, the US, Russia, Japan and the two Koreas, agreed Pyongyang would finish disabling its main nuclear facility by October.
The other nations will complete deliveries of fuel and economic aid ahead of visits by verification teams.
The deal comes after South Korea's leader proposed reviving direct talks with the North in a major policy shift.
