N Korea 'to abandon nuclear work'
North Korea has agreed to give up all its nuclear activities and rejoin the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty, according to negotiators in Beijing.
Pyongyang will reportedly accept inspections by the UN nuclear watchdog.
At the same time, the US is said to have given an undertaking that it has no intention of attacking North Korea.
The breakthrough came during a fourth round of six-party talks in Beijing aimed at ending a three-year standoff over North Korea's nuclear ambitions.
The six nations involved in the talks will discuss North Korea's request for a light water nuclear reactor at a later date, according to a joint statement.
The North "promised to drop all nuclear weapons and current nuclear programmes and to get back to the Non-Proliferation Treaty as soon as possible and to accept inspections" by the International Atomic Energy Agency, the statement said, quoted by the Associated Press.
"The United States affirmed that it has no nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula and has no intention to attack or invade (North Korea) with nuclear or conventional weapons."
The statement said the US and North Korea, which President George W Bush included in his "axis of evil", would work to normalise relations over time.
"This is the most important result since the six-party talks started more than two years ago," said Wu Dawei, China's vice foreign minister.
The BBC's Charles Scanlon in Seoul says the statement appears to be a significant step forward in principle, but it is in its implementation that difficulties may arise.

cosmo, you have insomnia.
I got up and took two walks already tonight, trying to sleep, it's just not happening. Even AP's Folk/New Age CD didn't do it. (it usually works) I wouldn't care if I didn't work early.
I got done with the AP CD too.
work will be interesting tomorrow.
the gig should operate on insomniac time.
I think mine has to do with the fact that I am taking time off from smoking herbs. I will probably look like this dude by morning.
