North Korea has the bomb, but not much of a nuclear arsenal. Pyongyang agreed to the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula in the September 19, 2005, Six-Party Joint Statement, but elimination of its nuclear weapons program remains elusive. The Six-Party Talks have called for North Korea to shut down the Yongbyon nuclear production complex; disable its facilities; declare its entire nuclear program; dismantle its facilities; and eliminate all nuclear weapons, materials, and weapons infrastructure - all in concert with compensating measures from the other five parties - South Korea, China, Japan, Russia, and the United States.
