N. Korea appears ready to escalate nuclear tensions: RiceLast Updated: Saturday, October 21, 2006 | 4:55 PM ET

CBC News

U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice says China's special envoy to Pyongyang said nothing to her about a reported North Korean pledge to refrain from further nuclear tests.South Korean and Japanese news reports have suggested North Korean leader Kim Jong-Il indicated in a meeting with Chinese official Tang Jiaxuan this week that he was planning no further nuclear tests.

But on Saturday morning, Rice told reporters travelling with her to Moscow that she had heard nothing to suggest Kim either apologized for the test or said that he would never test again. Rice said she was given a "thorough" briefing from Tang while visiting Beijing on Friday, but came away believing Pyongyang is not ready to back down from its nuclear program."The North Koreans, I think, would like to see an escalation of the tension," Rice said.
