'N.Korea must tell N programmes'

TOKYO - Japan and South Korea agreed on Monday that North Korea needs to swiftly give a full account of its nuclear programmes, Japanese Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda said.
'On the nuclear issue, we confirmed the need for North Korea to swiftly make a correct and full declaration,' Fukuda told a joint news conference with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak after their meeting in Tokyo.
North Korea, which tested a nuclear device in 2006, failed to meet a Dec. 31 deadline to reveal its nuclear weapons programmes, as stipulated in a deal struck with the United States, China, South Korea, Japan and Russia.
