I was re-reading some ACT pieces last night and came across a gem from SecState Rice this past July on US North Korea policy.
Here’s the quote in full:
I just want to say to China that the responsibility that has been shown here—and I think the President will say this to President Hu later—really shows that the efforts that we’ve been making over the last couple of years to have six-party talks—not U.S.-North Korea talks, where it was the United States and North Korea—but six-party talks, in which all of North Korea’s neighbors have been working toward a denuclearized Korean Peninsula, that that’s really paying off, because we really now have a coalition…That’s why I think ultimately North Korea will have no choice but to return to the talks and pursue denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
