SEOUL (Reuters) - North Korea said on Friday it welcomed the U.S. move to drop it from a terrorism blacklist and called on Washington to completely end a "hostile policy" so that it can move forward in scrapping its nuclear arms programme.

The North's unnamed foreign ministry spokesman said in comments carried by state news agency KCNA that Pyongyang had done its part under a nuclear disarmament deal and called on other countries involved to meet their commitments.
