| Description | Kim Jong-Il, North Korea's leader, has said that his nation is committed to removing nuclear weapons from the Korean peninsula and wants to co-exist peacefully.
Kim was talking during a meeting in Pyongyang, the capital, on Friday with a senior Chinese envoy, his first meeting with a foreign dignitary since his suspected stroke in August.
The meeting with Wang Jiarui, visiting head of the Chinese Communist Party's International Department, was reported by China's Xinhua news agency.
"The North Korean side will commit itself to the denuclearization of the North Korean peninsula, and hopes to co-exist peacefully with other involved parties," Kim was quoted as saying by Xinhua.
"North Korea is not willing to see tensions emerge in the peninsula, and is willing to strengthen consultation and cooperation with China to push forward the six-party talks," Kim, 67, said, referring to multilateral talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear programme in return for aid.
