MANILA (AP) - North Korea's new foreign minister reaffirmed his country's commitment on Sunday to ending its nuclear weapons program, an official said.

Pak Ui Chun, however, did not specify when North Korea would disable its nuclear facilities, Department of Foreign Affairs spokesman Claro Cristobal said.

Pak, who is making his first overseas trip since becoming foreign minister in May, is in Manila to attend the ASEAN Regional Forum, Asia's largest security organization.
