Alexander Losyukov held consultations in Tokyo on Friday with the newly appointed head of the Japanese delegation at six-nation talks on the North Korean nuclear issue, Akitaka Saiki.
"It is our shared position that North Korea must provide such information to all parties. Then we will be able to see exactly what the North Korean side has disclosed and what it has not," Losyukov told RIA Novosti after the meeting.
Last November, Pyongyang provided a list of its nuclear programs to the United States, which Washington considers to be incomplete. According to the Russian diplomat, no other delegations have seen the list.
He said the next six-nation meeting would not take place before March.
Under an agreement reached last October between the United States, Japan, Russia, China, and North and South Koreas, Pyongyang was to provide complete information on its nuclear programs by the end of 2007 in exchange for economic and political concessions. However, the North missed the deadline, causing the six-way negotiations to stall.
Since the October deal, South Korea, China and Russia have each supplied North Korea with 50,000 metric tons of fuel oil.
Pyongyang earlier accused the U.S. of failing to strike it off the list of states sponsoring terrorism and lift related trade restrictions, Washington's obligations under the six-party deal in November 2006.
