Bosworth, the U.S. special envoy to the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), said earlier in the day in Seoul that the United States and the DPRK reached a common understanding on the need for resuming the six-party talks and implementing the Joint Statement of September 2005.

Bosworth described his three-day trip to Pyongyang as "very useful," and said that he was able to exchange views in a "candid, business-like" way.
