    September 17, 1999: US President Bill Clinton agrees to first major easing of economic sanctions against the DPRK since the Korean War ended in 1953.

    July 2000: The DPRK threatens to restart its nuclear programme if Washington does not compensate it for the loss of electricity caused by delays in building nuclear power plants.

    July 2001: The US State Department reports the DPRK is developing long-range missiles.

    January 29, 2002: US President George W. Bush labels the DPRK, Iran and Iraq an "axis of evil."

    November 11: The US, Japan and the Republic of Korea (ROK) halt oil supplies to the DPRK promised in a 1994 deal.

    April 16: US, Chinese and DPRK officials announce talks in Beijing aimed at ending a nuclear standoff.

    August 27-29: The DPRK joins first round of Six-Party Talks in Beijing, which also involve China, the US, Japan, Russia and the ROK.

    September 13: Talks resume.

    January 3, 2006: The DPRK says it won't return to talks unless the US lifts financial restrictions imposed for its alleged currency counterfeiting and other illegal activities.

    March 7: DPRK and US officials meet in New York to discuss the US' financial restrictions.

    July 5: The DPRK launches seven missiles, including a long-range Taepodong-2, drawing international condemnation and a later UN Security Council resolution of condemnation.

    October 3: The DPRK says it will conduct a nuclear test in the face of what it claimed was "the US extreme threat of a nuclear war."
