June 24 (Bloomberg) -- North Korea may deliver its list of nuclear plants and materials to China on June 26, White House spokeswoman Dana Perino said, a move that will allow the six-nation disarmament forum to resume.

"There is word that they would try to do that by Thursday," Perino said at a briefing in Washington yesterday. "This is a deadline that the North Koreans themselves have put out there. We'll see if they decide to do that."

While the declaration is a step toward achieving the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, it will have to be "reviewed and considered verifiable" before the process moves on, she said.
