Seoul, Sept 3: North Korea said today the United States has agreed to remove it from its list of countries that support terrorism, a move long-sought by Pyongyang to better its status with the outside world.

''The US agreed to take political and economic compensation measures such as deleting our country from the list of terror supporting nations and fully lifting sanctions imposed under the law on trading with enemy countries,'' its KCNA news agency reported a Foreign Ministry spokesman as saying.

At bilateral talks at the weekend, the chief US negotiator said the communist state has agreed to fully account for and disable its nuclear programme. But he did not say the United States had agreed to remove North Korea from a list of countries that sponsor terrorism.
