WASHINGTON - North Korea would receive infrastructure improvements to its electricity plants and fuel storage facilities under a tentative six-party agreement, U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Chris Hill said on Wednesday.
Hill told reporters half of 950,000 tonnes of heavy fuel oil or its equivalent due to North Korea under a wider deal on ending its nuclear programs would come in fuel oil and the rest in the "refurbishment of plants, of electricity plans, and also some increase in their storage capacity to handle fuel oil."
