UN inspectors on Friday said they had reached a “mutual understanding” with North Korea after visiting a nuclear reactor at the centre of efforts to disarm the communist country.

Team leader Olli Heinonen said his four-strong International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) team, carrying out the first UN inspection of the Yongbyon reactor in five years, were allowed to view all the areas they wanted to.

Heinonen was quoted as saying by Kyodo News that a “mutual understanding” had been reached. He gave no further details of any deal, but added that North Korea’s cooperation had been “excellent.”
