Chavez's Visit to North Korea


TRANSCRIPT:

Excerpts from the Daily Press Briefing of June 26, 2006, pertaining to Western Hemisphere Affairs. full briefing

QUESTION: On Friday, Hugo Chavez announced that he was going to take a trip to Pyongyang with the intention of coming to some bilateral agreement on technology. Do you have any response to that?

MR. MCCORMACK: I'm not sure what it is that he would hope to get from the North Koreans. Certainly, if that involved the transfer of military technologies, just given North Korea's track record, certainly, that would be a concern. But before giving a more precise answer, I'd want to get more information on exactly what his stated intention in traveling to North Korea was.
