VOA标准英语2009年-South Korea, US Show Unified Front on Nort
时间:2019-02-12 作者:英语课 分类:VOA标准英语2009年(九月)
South Korea and the United States are wrapping up senior diplomatic talks on North Korea's nuclear weapons with a show of unity 1. They say a six-nation process that has been underway for six years must be preserved.
Stephen Bosworth, US special envoy 2 on North Korea, speaks to media before leaving for Japan at a hotel in Seoul, South Korea, 06 Sep 2009
Senior U.S. Envoy on North Korea, Stephen Bosworth, emerged from meetings with South Korean counterparts in Seoul holding firm to Washington's insistence 3 that Pyongyang's nuclear capabilities 4 must be ended.
"We have had very useful conversations here with our South Korean partners," he said, "we are agreed entirely 5 that denuclearization, complete and verifiable, remains 6 our core interest."
Bosworth has been in the South Korean capital since Friday, holding meetings with officials including chief South Korean nuclear negotiator Wi Wung-lac and Unification Minister Hyun In-taek.
Both sides are expressing concern over North Korean statements on Friday that Pyongyang is continuing to extract plutonium from spent nuclear fuel for material useable in weapons.
The North also said it had reached the final stage of a uranium enrichment program, possibly creating a second process by which it can build nuclear arms. Until this year, Pyongyang has denied U.S. accusations 7 it possessed 8 a covert 9 HEU, or highly enriched uranium program, in violation 10 of previous agreements.
Bosworth said the problem will take time to solve.
"This is not the first we have heard of HEU," he said. "And it may not be the last."
Bosworth repeated the Obama administration's policy that Washington is willing to talk one-on-one with North Korea, but only within the framework of six-nation talks begun in 2003 aimed at ending all of the North's nuclear capabilities.
North Korea has declared those talks "dead" several times this year, and says it is willing to deal only with the United States as a fellow nuclear weapons nation.
The United States and South Korea say they will be diligent 11 about implementing 12 U.N. Security Council sanctions imposed after North Korea conducted the second nuclear weapons test in its history in May.
