Medvedev wins nuclear pledge at rare N.Korea talks

North Koreas leader Kim Jong Il on Wednesday promised President Dmitry Medvedev in rare talks that his reclusive state was prepared to renounce nuclear testing and allow transit of a key gas pipeline.The meeting followed Mr Kims four-day train ride through Russias Far East and Siberia - his third visit to the giant neighbour in the last decade but the first since 2002.The secretive Mr Kim made no comment to reporters after the meeting outside the Siberian city of Ulan-Ude some 5,550km east of Moscow, but Mr Medvedev expressed satisfaction with the outcome. I am full of positive feelings. The meeting was substantive and open, Mr Medvedev said.He told journalists that the Stalinist state supported a planned pipeline to carry Russian gas supplies to South Korea through the North, a route that would allow Moscow to reach new energy-hungry Asian markets. The deal would concern the transit of gas across the territory of North Korea and accordingly the addition to this project of the Republic of Korea, considering that the main consumers are on its territory, Mr Medvedev said.
