North Korea’s pledge to suspend uranium enrichment, as well as nuclear and long-range missile tests, has received a cautious international welcome, according to BBC News.
A White House spokesman called it a “positive first step” towards denuclearising the Korean peninsula.
China’s foreign ministry also welcomed the move, while Japan said it could “be seen as progress”.
The deal followed talks between US and North Korean diplomats in Beijing last week.
The US has announced 240,000 tonnes of new food aid for Pyongyang in return for the freeze.
North Korea confirmed the suspension in a foreign ministry statement released in Pyongyang on Wednesday.
It said the move “aimed at building confidence for the improvement of relations” between the two countries, and said talks would continue.
