The Japan Times Online The six-party talks to resolve the North Korean nuclear crisis have resumed in Beijing. The six parties can solve the questions about North Korea's right to peaceful nuclear energy, which is merely the first of many difficult, and sometimes seemingly intractable, issues that will have to be dealt with during the negotiation and implementation of any eventual deal. All parties to the talks -- China, Japan, North Korea, Russia, South Korea and the United States -- agree that the end goal is a denuclearized Korean Peninsula achieved through negotiation, not by the threat or use of force. www.japantimes.co.jp /cgi-bin/geted.pl5?ed20050914a1.htm   (860 words)

PINR - The Fourth Round of Six-Party Talks Unique to the fourth round of talks, the aim of the joint statement is to establish general principles that all six parties can agree on as a first step toward a final agreement. In the days before the talks formally began, several bilateral sessions were held among the parties, a meeting format that would dominate this round where large and unwieldy plenary sessions had been the norm in the past. Seoul urged its northern neighbor to return to the talks during high-level meetings between the two Koreas in late June 2005 in which the parties agreed to seek a "peaceful resolution" to the nuclear crisis. www.pinr.com /report.php?ac=view_report&report_id=360&language_id=1   (1935 words)

Six-Party Talks The first round of six-party talks, in August 2003, provided the opportunity for governments directly concerned with the Korean Peninsula, and the nuclear issue in particular, to state their positions authoritatively before all of the other parties. The parties agreed to regularize the six-party talks, to convene a third round of talks before June, and to establish a working group to continue our efforts in the interim. All parties came prepared to be blunt about their positions, but also ready and willing to take on board the concerns of the other parties. www.state.gov /p/eap/rls/rm/2004/30093.htm   (1178 words)

North Korea: Six-Party Talks Move into Second Day, No Breakthrough - RADIO FREE EUROPE / RADIO LIBERTY Hill said the communist nation had raised new issues that go beyond a draft agreement being negotiated by the six countries at the talks, such as the construction of a civilian light-water nuclear reactor to supply energy. Hill tried to keep the issue from sidetracking the talks, and emphasized that the main thrust of negotiations was the elimination of nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula. "Of the five parties, the U.S. and the other four parties, I think there is a strong willingness to work with the fourth draft, the draft put together by the Chinese side," Hill said. www.rferl.org /featuresarticle/2005/9/AE2482B8-4FA6-4A93-80D7-7C8DD620C536.html   (712 words)

[No title] ASIAN NEWS, OPINION: North Korean Nuclear Crisis and the Six-party Talks The talks may turn out to be only a temporary break in the crisis, with North Korea returning to its brinkmanship tactics and moving toward a more robust nuclear weapons capability. All sides say they are hoping for an acceptable resolution through these talks, but the fact is they are not as constructive as people feel they are; no agreements have been reached and the issue remains unresolved. josephbosco.com /wow2004/2004/11/asian-news-opinion-north-korean.html   (432 words)

North Korea to rejoin six-nation talks - Wikinews North Korea's Korean Central News Agency issued a statement saying the talks would resume because the preconditions for negotiations were met: "The U.S. side clarified its official stand to recognize the DPRK as a sovereign state, not to invade it and hold bilateral talks within the framework of the six-party talks." "North Korea Agrees to Rejoin Six-Nation Nuclear Talks". North Korea would allow talks if the United States would treat the country with respect, referring to earlier comments by Condoleezza Rice, who had called North Korea an "outpost of tyranny." According to the statement, the North Korean government views the meeting with Hill as a "retraction" of these earlier comments. en.wikinews.org /wiki/North_Korea_to_rejoin_six-nation_talks   (427 words)

Analysis: Beijing's Six-Party Talks Fail On Sunday vice foreign minister Wu Dawei from host nation China issued the second "Chairman's Statement" of the six party talks (the first was after the Feb. 2004 round) as a face saving formula rather than allow the dubious momentum of the stalled talks be clearly known. Diplomats were quick to put a positive spin on two weeks of six party talks that ended in failure Sunday without an agenda for a nuclear free Korean peninsula. Wu's statement said the goal of the participants was denuclearizing the Korean peninsula in a peaceful manner with all sides committed to the six party process. www.spacewar.com /news/korea-05zzm.html   (1211 words)

Han Song Ryol made clear that his country's announcement Thursday that it is a nuclear power and would indefinitely suspend its participation in six-party negotiations was the result of Pyongyang's belief that the United States is bent on invading North Korea to topple Kim Jong II's authoritarian regime.

Six-Party Talks: Round 3 According to a chairman's statement issued on the final day of the talks, "the parties agree in principle to hold the fourth round of the six-party talks in Beijing by the end of September 2004, at a date to be decided through diplomatic channels with due consideration to the proceedings of the working group. At the second round of six-party talks four months earlier, South Korea had proposed its own version of "reward for freeze"--a proposal to provide energy assistance to the North on condition that the North commits itself to freezing its nuclear facilities as a first step toward their eventual dismantling. Even before talks officially began at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse in Beijing on June 23, there were indications that the U.S. might display more flexibility this time than it had in the two preceding rounds. www.nautilus.org /fora/security/0426A_Koh.html   (1561 words)

DPRK Studies » SIX-PARTY TALKS HOPES - DEJA VU, AGAIN “The North Koreans love to make excuses for why they can’t come to the six-party talks… They don’t like facing China and Russia and Japan and South Korea and the United States telling them in a concerted fashion that it’s time to get rid of their weapons, their nuclear weapons.” The U.S. position has stayed the same: talks should begin immediately, and without pre-conditions.

CNS - What to Expect from the Six-Party Talks on the Korean Nuclear Crisis - August 25, 2003 - Research Story of the Week A key question is whether the parties agree to convene a third round of talks at a later date. Participation in the talks allows the United States to demonstrate that it is taking a reasonable diplomatic approach to the crisis, but the U.S. objective is to force North Korea to back down. In the April 2003 talks, the United States stressed that Pyongyang's nuclear weapons program was a multinational problem rather than a U.S.-North Korea bilateral issue and that threatening North Korea behavior would not be rewarded by the international community. cns.miis.edu /pubs/week/030825.htm   (1911 words)

CNN.com - N. Korea 'wants six-party talks' - Sep 13, 2004 BEIJING, China -- North Korea is committed to holding six-party talks aimed at resolving the crisis over its nuclear weapons program, British Foreign Office minister Bill Rammell said Tuesday, Reuters reported. China said last month the six nations found some common ground in the third round of talks, with all parties agreeing that a freeze of the North's nuclear program should be a first step.

North Korea And Six Party Talks Secretary of State Rice said that a clear principle that five parties to the six-party talks have been operating under is, “The Korean Peninsula has to be non-nuclear. The six-party talks are aimed at ending North Korea’s nuclear weapons program. U.S. Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice has welcomed North Korea’s decision to return to the six-party talks on North Korean nuclear disarmament. www.voanews.com /uspolicy/2005-07-19-voa1.cfm   (369 words)

Why the Six Party Talks Should Succeed If, however, the Six Party Talks fail and North Korea tests a nuclear device to place itself decisively among the nuclear-weapons powers of the world, as India and Pakistan did in 1998, then pressure would build on other countries in the region (especially South Korea, Taiwan, and Japan) to consider their own nuclear-weapon option. Any hope for the success of the Six Party Talks and the planned East Asian Community, both cooperative-security initiatives, is dependent upon a firm commitment to multilateral cooperation by all of the major powers in the region. There is good reason to assume that, faced with this kind of threat, Kim Yong-Il has concluded that a nuclear deterrent is his best hope to stay in power, and as a result, the issue of regime security has become a central issue in the Six Party Talks. www.nautilus.org /fora/security/0562VanNess.html   (4825 words)

AEI - Short Publications In short, the six party meetings should evolve into a zone of peace and development with a denuclearized Korean peninsula and possibly including Japan. The six powers could meet to draft a protocol which would establish the overall objectives, requirements for participation and define some specific areas of possible immediate cooperation such as HIV/AIDS prevention, international crime, detection of national disasters, or pollution. The February public announcement that it has nuclear weapons, that it will not rejoin the talks and its reiteration that the problem is U.S. hostile policy are standard positions used to extract material concessions. www.aei.org /publications/pubID.22096,filter.all/pub_detail.asp   (2538 words)

SIX-PARTY TALKS: U.S. BILATERAL DIALOGUE WITH DPRK 'WISE AND PRUDENT' If the six-party talks fail to persuade the North to scrap its nuclear programs, there will be increasing sentiment that the talks are unnecessary and calls to refer Pyongyang's nuclear development to the UNSC. One additional reason the talks are developing slowly is that each party has different definitions of the term 'denuclearize.’ South Korea has said that this round of talks ‘must produce some kind of joint statement’.... The new talks also mean a victory for diplomatic pragmatism in contradiction to a confrontational approach--this is a success for South Korea and China which both had warned Bush, saying that bashing Pyongyang could lead to a dead end or even war, which would have hit the southern brother in particular. www.globalsecurity.org /wmd/library/news/dprk/2005/wwwh80502.htm   (10778 words)

Six-party talks to resume Sept. 2 China's vice foreign minister and chief negotiator in the talks, Wu Dawei, told Mizuho Fukushima, leader of Japan's Social Democratic Party, that the talks were expected to resume Sept. 2, the Kyodo News Web site quoted a party official as saying. The talks, which involve the two Koreas, China, Japan, Russia and the United States and are being held in Beijing, broke for a three-week recess early this month after reaching an impasse over Pyongyang's demand to maintain nuclear facilities to meet its energy needs. However, at a later meeting with Tsutomu Takebe, secretary general of the ruling Liberal Democratic Party, Wu reportedly said the date was his "personal idea," the Jiji Press news agency reported. www.happynews.com /news/six-party-talks.htm   (262 words)

Digital Chosunilbo (English Edition) : Daily News in English About Korea The United States and North Korea resumed six-nation talks on the Stalinist country¡¯s nuclear program after a 37-day break with strong bids to take control of the agenda. North Korean chief delegate Kim Kye-gwan was assertive on the eve of the talks, saying North Korea has the right to use nuclear power peacefully.

POLITICS-US/KOREA: Much at Stake on Eve of Six-Party Talks Those remarks were followed by a series of bilateral get-togethers in New York, an intensification of diplomatic exchanges in Northeast Asia among the most concerned parties, and new promises of economic and other assistance by South Korea, conditioned on the resumption of Six-Party talks. The issue is now is whether Washington and Pyongyang are sincerely committed to the talks -- and an eventual deal -- or whether they are simply going through the motions hoping that when the talks break down the other party will be blamed. That the talks will indeed reconvene comes as an immense relief to both Seoul and Beijing, which have been deeply alarmed over the past few months by the sabre-rattling in which both Washington and Pyongyang have engaged. www.ipsnews.net /news.asp?idnews=29612   (1091 words)

Resume the Six-Party Talks—Even If North Korea Walks The United States should use the next meeting of the six-party talks to send the clear message that North Korea will no longer be allowed to dictate the terms and conditions of the multilateral diplomatic efforts to end North Korea's nuclear weapons program. These statements, along with demands for bilateral talks with the United States and the removal of U.S. troops on the Korean peninsula, simply repeat demands and accusations that date back to the Korean War. All parties, even North Korea, have officially stated that they agree that the goal is a denuclearized Korean peninsula. www.heritage.org /Research/AsiaandthePacific/em962.cfm   (734 words)

Bush said the U.S. was prepared to form a more normal relationship, always provided North Korea dismantles its nuclear program. Hill on Monday only smiled when asked about reports that the U.S. has proposed setting up a U.S. liaison office in Pyongyang, which represents the lowest possible level of a diplomatic relationship. freekorea.blogspot.com /2005/07/six-party-talks-open.html   (967 words)
