I think they should focus on what is on the table, |
I think we have very strong arguments on our side. I think, consistent with our arguments and consistent with our interests, we can come up with something. |
I understand we have some North Korean visitors here today. |
I want to emphasize that the issue of nuclear weapons in the DPRK must be solved, |
I want to stress that we all want to resolve this through a diplomatic way. The DPRK, not for the first time, has chosen to isolate itself. |
I'm just here to see if I can help get a solution to this terrible problem in Kosovo, |
I'm not sure there is really much more I can talk to them about...I think they ought to come back to the six-party talks without any condition. |
I'm sure Ambassador Han deeply regrets that he lost his temper, because the things he said are inexcusable, |
I'm sure we'll discuss all aspects of six-party talks. |
If I were optimistic or pessimistic it really wouldn't make much difference. The fact is, we have to talk to them and see where we are. |
If we can get an agreement at the end of August, quickly thereafter in September we will move to the next stage ...the so-called fifth round of the six-party talks we would anticipate starting at very early fall. |
If we're not going to be here ... we'll have to talk about what possible way we might wind this up, |
If we're not going to make progress, we're not going to be here, |
In a very real sense, (North Korea) really does stand at a crossroads and they can look forward to a brighter future, a more secure future, a more prosperous future, ... But they really can't do it with nuclear weapons. They've really got to get off that. |
In fact, just in the last couple of days, they've come back with a whole new concept. That is a light-water reactor. So indeed we have a problem. |
