North Korea has agreed to suspend uranium enrichment, as well as nuclear and long-range missile tests, following talks with the US.
The US State Department said Pyongyang had also agreed to allow UN inspectors to monitor its reactor in Yongbyon to verify compliance with the measures.
In return, the US is finalising 240,000 tonnes of food aid for the North.
The move comes two months after Kim Jong-un came to power following the death of his father, Kim Jong-il.
There are rumours that the deal was almost finalised under Kim Jong-il, but many are now saying that Kim Jong-un has been terribly underestimated and wishes North Korea to move forward and co-operate with the UN which includes food aid for the most needy in the North of the country.
Wonders will never cease and maybe this young man wont live up to the 'ogre' which some feared he may be prior to his taking over.
Early days but he appears to have a brain and with it compassion. We shall see.
