Korean Cardinal Welcomes Nuclear Deal
February 14, 2007 |
SEOUL, South Korea - Cardinal Nicholas Cheong Jin-Suk welcomed the accord that officials hope will result in North Korea shutting down its main nuclear faculty.
The archbishop of Seoul and apostolic administrator of Pyongyang said he “welcomes with joy and satisfaction the signing of the agreement for North Korean disarmament” and thanks the nations who contributed “to averting a real catastrophe for all mankind,” reported AsiaNews.
According to the agreement signed Tuesday, North Korea will close its Yongbyon reactor within 60 days and allow international inspectors to oversee the process. In return, it will get energy aid.
The long-term plan is for North Korea to receive economic, energy and humanitarian assistance in return for a complete list of its nuclear programs and the disabling of all its nuclear facilities.
Cardinal Cheong said the accord “averted a catastrophe of unimaginable consequences. We are satisfied and thank God for how things turned out.”
