UNITED NATIONS (Reuters) - The United States should give North Korea civilian nuclear reactors "as soon as possible" to show that Washington recognises Pyongyang's right to peaceful nuclear activities, North Korean Deputy Foreign Minister Choe Su Hon said on Thursday.

But Choe, in an address to the U.N. General Assembly, did not appear to link the provision of reactors to its obligations under a landmark deal to give up its nuclear weapons program.

In the agreement struck on Monday in Beijing among North and South Korea, China, Japan, Russia and the United States, Pyongyang agreed to give up its nuclear weapons programs in exchange for aid, security guarantees and increased diplomatic recognition.

However Pyongyang sowed confusion over the deal on Tuesday by vowing to keep its weapons until Washington provided energy-producing civilian reactors.
