BEIJING, July 12  - Six-party talks aimed at ending North Korea's nuclear stand-off will resume on July 18, the Chinese Foreign Ministry said on Thursday.

North Korea agreed in February to mothball its Yongbyon nuclear complex in exchange for fuel oil. 

S.Korea sends oil aid to DPRK

South Korea sent a shipload of oil to North Korea on Thursday, a move expected to trigger DPRK to shut down its nuclear reactor in a landmark first step toward dismantling its nuclear program.

The chief UN inspector, Mohamed ElBaradei, said he expects the agency's monitoring of the shutdown of the North's Yongbyon reactor will start "early next week" and the initial inspection is expected to be completed "within a maybe month or so."

"I expect that operation to move smoothly," ElBaradei, head of the International Atomic Energy Agency, said in Seoul of the visit by inspectors to North Korea expected to begin Saturday. "I am quite optimistic that this is a good step in the right direction."

A South Korean ship - the 6,750-ton No. 9 Han Chang - departed for North Korea from the port of Ulsan on South Korea's southeast coast, carrying an initial batch of 6,200 tons of heavy fuel oil being given to the North for its agreement to shut down Yongbyon.

The ship was expected to arrive Saturday in North Korea's northeastern port of Sonbong and will take some 48 hours to unload.

North Korea, after refusing to go forward with the accord for months due to a banking dispute with the US government, strongly hinted last week that it would undertake the long-delayed shutdown as soon as it receives an initial shipment of oil aid.

The shipment is part of 50,000 tons promised for the reactor shutdown, and North Korea would get an additional 950,000 tons of energy aid if it disables all its nuclear facilities under a February deal with the US, China, Japan, Russia and South Korea.

If the North shuts down Yongbyon, it would be the first move it has made to scale back since the nuclear standoff began in late 2002. In the first months of the crisis, Pyongyang kicked out UN monitors and restarted Yongbyon.

Tensions in the standoff climaxed with the North's first-ever nuclear test in October last year.

ElBaradei said that beyond these initial moves, the North's eventual entire abandonment of its nuclear facilities would be a "long process" that would depend on progress at the six-nation disarmament talks.

"We should not delude ourselves," said ElBaradei, who was attending an international atomic technology conference in Seoul. "It will take time to have a comprehensive solution."

On Wednesday, he had said it was unclear when North Korea would actually switch off the reactor.

South Korean and US officials have said six-nation nuclear talks are expected to resume in Beijing next week to discuss next steps beyond the reactor shutdown. However, host China has not made an official announcement yet. The negotiations were last held in March.

North Korea had refused to honor the shutdown pledge because of a banking dispute with the US surrounding North Korean funds frozen in a Macau bank blacklisted by Washington over accusations of money laundering and counterfeiting. The financial dispute was resolved recently as the US helped release the funds.
