Members of a US delegation that visited North Korea said here Saturday that North Korean officials had allowed them to visit the secretive Yongbyon nuclear facility and had "honoured" all their requests.

"We did go to Yongbyon," Stanford University scholar John Lewis said at Beijing airport on his return from a five-day trip to North Korea.

"We were invited by the foreign ministry. We sent them a list of all our requests and they honoured all of those requests and we made additional ones, they honoured all of those," he said.

Lewis and another member of his delegation, nuclear scientist Sig Hecker, would not go into details of the visit.

Hecker said he felt obliged to first brief the US government.
