Responding to concerns over a possible re-listing the DPRK as a state sponsor of terrorism, the US State Department says the decision will depend on Pyongyang's subsequent actions.

The State Department says before making any decision the Obama administration must determine whether the DPRK government has repeatedly provided support for acts of international terrorism.

Under the six-party talks framework -- and along with Pyongyang's acceptance of all U.S. nuclear inspection demands -- the Bush administration removed the DPRK from the terrorism blacklist back in October of 2008.
