Both agreed that the next round of six-party talks should focus on issues related to the North's dismantlement of its nuclear programs and the verification of that dismantlement. They both agreed that the agreement signed in Beijing by the six parties was the binding text for parties, including on the question of light water reactors. |
Both sides have responsibilities, |
Burning two embassies in Damascus doesn't happen without the knowledge of the Syrian government. |
But before we actually present any agreement to the Congress, India needs to take several steps, including the separation of their civilian and military nuclear programs. |
But that's going to be up to the parties in the region to do. |
But we would hope that anything that they do is not something that would be disruptive to the current atmosphere in the region. |
Certainly I think that in the public discourse it is a topic that is taking up quite a bit of time. |
Certainly Iran is going to be an important topic that he discusses with the Indian government. |
Certainly security is very important, so that people have the opportunity to express their will in a manner unfettered from violence or threat of violence. |
Certainly the leaders of the Saudi government might be individuals who might fulfill that role. There are others in the region who also might fulfill that role as well. |
Certainly, as anybody would, we mourn the loss of life in these kinds of situations. But, again, these are issues for the French people and the French government to address. |
Certainly, it is not enough just to hold an election. How that election unfolds is very important. We've called for international election observers in Egypt. So thus far, I don't think that there's been an invitation extended to observers, but this is something that we would encourage and continue to urge. |
Certainly, we are not going to have any contact with a terrorist organization. But as for each state, they are going to have to make that sovereign decision. |
Certainly, we would like to see president Mubarak and his government follow through on that pledge. |
Certainly, we would welcome the resumption of our once strong cooperative efforts in the fight against illegal narcotics. |
