I hope that Mr. Kim will see this as an opportunity to help further what Indonesia has been trying hard to pursue _ the peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. |
I will lobby the concerned parties and will see what we can do in the matter. |
In terms of denying the allegations - they used the words 'strongly deny' - they feel that this kind of measures has no foundation. |
Mr. Kim responded positively to (our) invitation and said that he will be happy to undertake that visit at the very appropriate time in the future. |
North Korea has asked Indonesia to provide its good offices so that the existing barriers would be removed and the talks can be resumed. |
The president decided to have a visit in April to South Korea and then to DPRK. |
They indicated to me they are willing to resume the six-party talks provided the United States lift its financial sanctions that have been applied recently to North Korea. |
This is a purely a bilateral issue between the United States and North Korea. The less people interfere with the problem, I think, the better for the solution. |
When I arrived there (in Pyongyang), they have just decided to hold a bilateral meeting with South Korea in the level of generals. They need a time to decide (whether to send defense minister in) the meeting in the level of defense minister. |
