“The need to denuclearize the peninsula and prevent weapons of mass destruction from proliferating are also expected to be pillars of the plan.”

“The denuclearization of the Korean peninsula forms a link in the chain of efforts to denuclearize the world.”

“Giving South Korea the right would violate an agreement it signed more than 20 years ago with the North to denuclearize the peninsula.”

“Mr Kim merely redoubled his nuclear efforts, exploding a device inside a mountain in October 2006, despite a 2005 agreement to denuclearise.”

“A spokeswoman for Park said the administration recognised that past attempts to denuclearise the North had been unsuccessful.”

“It is time for the international community to fashion a truly united front to press North Korea to denuclearise.”

“So, first step, I think, everyone agrees, we've got to get this place denuclearized.”

“Today's agreement between Iran and the West constitutes an advanced step forward for a denuclearized Middle East.”

“It would not go back to the talks which are based on the assumption of a denuclearized North.”
