Assistant Secretary Hill: Travel to Japan, South Korea and China

Six-Party Talks Assistant Secretary Hill (Apr. 15): "I want to be very clear that we worked hard to support the Macau decision to unblock the accounts, accounts that had been administratively blocked for some months. We worked hard to ensure that that’s happened. ... think it’s time for the North Koreans to take some measures on their own. Clearly, if we’re going to get through this denuclearization process, there are many steps. And deadlines are important to achieving our goals and to do it in a timely way."

Assistant Secretary for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Christopher Hill traveled in Asia and included stops in Tokyo, Japan on March 9-10, Seoul, South Korea on March 10-11 and Beijing, China on March 12-13. The purpose was to continue our consultations with our key partners and how to move the Six-Party process forward.
