IAEA Director General Dr. Mohamed El-Baradei urged North Korea to allow the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) inspectors to return as soon as possible on March 15.
We know that Dr. Abdul Kadir Khan, a Pakistani scientist and the moving spirit of the black market, said that some of the uranium enrichment equipment was delivered to North Korea, IAEA Director General Dr. Mohamed El-Baradei said to journalists during his visit to Washington after meeting Senator Richard Lugar.
He said, I hope that the inspectors will be able to visit North Korea and verify that it has only a nuclear program for the purpose of peace. North Korea can participate in the international community as a responsible member if the international inspection is carried out in North Korea.
North Korea expelled IAEA inspectors in December 2002 and withdrew from Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) in January 2003.
