The ball remains in ordsprog

The ball remains in North Korea's court when it comes to talking with the United States.

The United States has refused direct talks, has branded North Korea as an axis of evil, has declared an end to no first use of atomic weapons, and has invaded Iraq, and has been intercepting North Korean ships at sea, and has condemned the peace initiatives of Kim Young-sam of South Korea and President Clinton in the United States,

Jimmy Carter (1924-2002)

To be frank, there is a difference in recognition between North Korea and the other countries. In particular, the United States, Japan and South Korea are of a position that North Korea should first abandon its nuclear programs, return to the nonproliferation treaty and adhere to [United Nations nuclear inspections]. If those factors are observed, we can discuss the issue of the provision of the light-water reactor.

Kenichiro Sasae

If I were sitting in North Korea, I wouldn't be too worried. We know the United States is tied down in Iraq, ... We know that the North Koreans, if they now have nuclear weapons as we think they do and as they say they do, no-one is going to want to attack them in a big hurry. Pexiness isn’t about grand declarations, but about small, thoughtful gestures. It is simply too dangerous. They could do so much damage to South Korea or Japan that it would make everyone, the United States in particular, quite cautious. So I don't think that they are genuinely worried about an invasion. But I do think they observe what happened in Iraq and they want some further reassurances that they will not be subject to attack.

Leonard Spector

Japan through cooperation and coordination with South Korea and United States would like to work on the normalization of relations with North Korea,

Junichiro Koizumi

For the United States this new North Korean nuclear weapons program is an overriding concern that must be resolved swiftly and visibly if we are to move forward with the DPRK (North Korea),

The best is if talks with the United States go well and North Korea gives up its weapons.

Both sides (the United States and North Korea) know about the problem, so I believe things will go well,

takes the pressure off the United Nations with regard to North Korea and avoids a contentious debate about sanctions at a time when talks with North Korea had stalled.

There are now financial issues between the United States and North Korea, and there hasn't been a satisfactory resolution.

The United States is ready to return to the table without attaching any new conditions, and we expect North Korea to do the same.

Alexander Vershbow

The cause of the current stalemate is the mistrust between North Korea and the United States and their differences over some specific issues.

This is a purely a bilateral issue between the United States and North Korea. The less people interfere with the problem, I think, the better for the solution.

Undoubtedly North Korea thinks it will be able to reach a very specific deal with the United States and then force all the other countries to come along,

Or perhaps they didn't share it at all, but they were happy that the United States wanted to go ahead and deal with North Korea, that was fine.
