Bilateral Talks With North Only If It Leads To Six-Party Talks: U.S. (RTTNews) - The Obama administration reiterated Thursday that it was willing to hold bilateral discussions with North Korea only if it leads to the resumption of six-party talks to achieve the goal of denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. "We are willing to have bilateral talks with the North Koreans if these talks are conducted in the context of the six-party talks and if they lead to the resumption of these talks," State Department spokesman, Ian Kelly, told reporters at his daily news conference. The U.S. believes that the North has to abide by the commitments that it made in 2005 to give up its nuclear weapons, the spokesman said, adding, the U.S. policy just couldn't be clearer in that regard. Both the U.S. and its partners in the six-party talks, China, Russia, Japan and South Korea, have said that they are willing to reengage, to get North Korea to abide by its commitments. "We certainly don't want to have talks that don't lead to any sort of significant discussions," Kelly said. Earlier responding to announcement made by the pariah state that it has completed reprocessing all 8,000 spent fuel rods extracted from its only operating nuclear reactor in Yongbyon and made achievements in weaponizing the plutonium, Kelly said reprocessing plutonium is contrary to North Korea's own commitments that it committed to in the 2005 joint statement, and also would be a violation of various U.N. Security Council resolutions. |
