I don't have any further six-party meetings planned, to my knowledge. |
I don't have any plan because meetings should have a purpose and we've already discussed our positions. So I'm not sure of the purpose to have a meeting, besides (that) I'm in Tokyo. |
I don't have any plans yet and I am obviously going to be very focused in the coming weeks of consulting with other partners and that could well include DPRK but I haven't made any travel plans yet. |
I don't think the problem here is meeting. I think the problem here is (North Korea) needs to make a decision. |
I have just told the North Koreans ... (they) raised the idea (of) what can be done about putting the interim measure, a freeze measure. I told them I am not interested. |
I have made it very clear and I think the other delegations have made it clear that nobody is prepared to fund the light water reactors and that they should rather focus on the elements that are on the table... |
I have made it very clear, and I think the other delegations have made it clear, although I'll let them speak for themselves, that nobody is prepared to fund the light water reactor, and they should rather focus on the elements that are on the table and understand that those elements would be very beneficial. |
I hope China will feel a certain responsibility to convince (North Korea) to take that deal, |
I hope that China will feel a certain responsibility to try to convince the DPRK that the deal is there on the table and it only awaits the decision of the DPRK to take that deal, |
I hope the Democratic People's Republic of Korea delegation has done some homework. We had more than four weeks to look at the text of the proposed agreement. |
I know that my delegation is coming here to work. We know pretty precisely what the issues are. I hope the (North Korean) delegation has also done some homework, |
I know there's an election in Japan, but it doesn't mean there isn't going to be a government in Japan, so I'm sure we'll be able to work closely together and I'm sure there will be real continuity in what we need to get done. |
I know we have had two discussions within the New York channel, and I can't say really there has been progress, ... We will have a better idea about what the DPRK position is. |

I must say it was a meeting in which we did not make a lot of progress. Neither the United States or any other participant is prepared to fund a light-water reactor. |
