SYDNEY (Reuters) - Top U.S. negotiator Christopher Hill said on Tuesday that North Korea must do more to dismantle its nuclear weapons programme before it can be removed from Washington's list of states that sponsor terrorism.

On Monday, Pyongyang's official Korean Central News Agency quoted a North Korean Foreign Ministry spokesman as saying the United States had agreed during bilateral talks in Geneva to take North Korea off the list.

"They are not off this list," Hill told reporters in Sydney, which is hosting the annual meetings of the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation forum. He flew in from Geneva, where he had met North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye-gwan over the weekend.

"Whether they get off will depend on further denuclearisation," added Hill, the Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific affairs.

2. Sorry, but what "terrorism" has NK ever perpetrated?

Squalid dictatorship or not, a sovereign nation developing
nuclear weapons is -NOT- terrorism.

Just more of our current "anything we don't like is TERRORISM"
broad-brush mindset.

Our broad brushes are in the hands of MORONS.

3. North Korea had their nuclear program shut down till the bu$h administration
