The Vice Foreign Minister of North Korea says the country can be trusted if there is new agreement on the Korean Peninsular nuclear issue.
In an interview from North Korea with American Broadcasting Corporation, Kim Gye Gwan refused to give details on whether his country has enough plutonium for eleven weapons.
 "Tough question, I don't think I can satisfy you, that is military information."
On widespread speculation that North Korea is planning for another nuclear test, the vice foreign minister said others can closely watch what happens next.
"We've not said there would be another test, others have said that. The US has done hundreds of nuclear tests in its history."
Also on Friday, South Korean news reported North Korean leader Kim Jong Il said Pyongyang didn't plan to carry out any more nuclear tests.
In North Korea, thousands of citizens and soldiers rallied in the capital city to cheer the country's recent nuclear test. The country's state-run Korean Central News Agency said more than 100-thousand people gathered in Pyongyang's central Kim Il Sung square to "hail the success of the historic nuclear test."
China, together with the international community, is trying to seek various means to bring North Korea back to the stalled six party talks. China has insisted that the Korean peninsula nuclear issue can only be solved through peaceful diplomatic means.
