Key U.S. Policy Priorities
Prevent the proliferation of Weapons of Mass Destruction: 'No nation will accept a North Korea equipped with nuclear
weapons' says Christopher Hill, Assistant Secretary for East
Asian and Pacific Affairs.
Prevent nuclear or conventional attack on US or its allies: 'While the United States remains committed to a peaceful diplomatic solution and
to implementation of the agreed upon Joint Statement, the North Korean regime's
actions and unwillingness to return to the talks appears to indicate that the
North has not yet made the strategic decision to give up their nuclear programs
as pledged to the other five parties. Accordingly, we will continue to take all
necessary measures to protect ourselves and our allies.' says the office of the
White House Press Secretary.
Reach a diplomatic solution: 'China and the United States
and all the Six-Party participants, share the goal of a denuclearized Korean
Peninsula. We all share the goal of solving this problem diplomatically and of
figuring out ways to work together to encourage this positive end.' says
Christopher Hill, Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs
Human rights in North Korea:
'Advancing the human rights of the North Korean people will require the free
nations of the world to continue taking an interest in promoting those rights,
says Christian Whiton, the president’s deputy special envoy for human rights in
North Korea.'
