Bush Calls for NK Verification, Increased Human Rights
U.S. President George W. Bush says his country will continue to insist that North Korea respect the dignity and human rights of the North Korean people.
Mr. Bush made the comment in an address he plans to deliver in Thailand Thursday, the text of which was released in advance by the White House.
The U.S. president also said the ultimate goal of the five nations negotiating with North Korea at the six party-nuclear talks is to rid the Korean Peninsula from oppression and nuclear weapons.
Bush added that Pyongyang should commit to the verification of its nuclear declaration and address outstanding concerns about its nuclear proliferation and uranium enrichment programs

The daily also anticipated Mr. Bush’s request for Lee to dispatch troops to Afghanistan during the summit.
