BEIJING (AFP) - North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il told China Friday he was ready to resume six-party nuclear talks without preconditions, as he travelled through the Asian nation, the China's state media said. Kim, who travels by armoured train and is on his way back from an official visit to Russia, made the comments in a meeting with Chinese State Councillor Dai Bingguo in northeast China's Heilongjiang province. "The DPRK adheres to the goal of denuclearisation on the Korean peninsula and is ready to fully implement the September 19 joint statement along with all sides," the official Xinhua news agency quoted him as saying.
