A fact-finding team composed of members of the six-party talks on the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue, has arrived in Pyongyang.

Its mission is to follow up progress made in the disablement of nuclear facilities in Yongbyon.

The team of 10 officials and experts from China, South Korea, Japan, the US and Russia, will head for Yongbyon on Wednesday.

The Democratic People's Republic of Korea shut down the Yongbyon nuclear reactor in July.

Under a six-party talks' joint document released in October, the DPRK agreed to disable all of its existing nuclear facilities and provide a complete and correct declaration of all of its nuclear programs by the end of this year.
