US still hopes NKorea reconsides missile launch
1 hour ago
WASHINGTON (AFP) — US envoy Stephen Bosworth said Friday he still hopes that North Korea will drop plans to launch a rocket but stuck to the goal of resuming the nuclear disarmament talks no matter what happens.
Bosworth, speaking in Washington amid reports that Pyongyang may launch a missile carrying a satellite as early as Saturday, pursued US efforts for a measured response that avoids inflaming tension in northeast Asia.
"We have continued to urge, as we urge now, (North Korea) not to launch this. Whether it's a satellite launch or a missile launch, in our judgment, makes no difference. It's a provocative act," Bosworth told a press conference.
"And we hope they will still reconsider and not do this," he added.
But Bosworth, who has dealt with the reclusive, Stalinist regime in Pyongyang for years and was chosen by President Barack Obama to be the special representative on North Korea policy, gave no reason for why he held such hope.
"Realistic or not realistic, it is still my hope," Bosworth said when pressed by a reporter.
If North Korea does go ahead with the launch, the United States will work with its partners in the UN Security Council "to consult vigorously on what action might then be appropriate," he added.
"We believe that a defiance of a UN Security Council resolution is an action that requires that there be some consequences," Bosworth said, citing resolution 1718 passed in 2006.
If there is a launch, the aim is to get back to the denuclearization process as soon as possible after the "dust settles," the envoy said.
He said the United States continues "to look with great interest and great priority to the need to resume" the disarmament talks that involve the two Koreas, the United States, China, Japan and Russia.
The talks stalled late last year amid a dispute over verification.
"That remains of course our long-term goal and we would hope to return to that goal in as reasonable a period and time as possible," Bosworth said.
However, North Korea has threatened to quit the disarmament talks if the UN Security Council imposes sanctions.
He added that it was difficult to know whether international diplomatic measures against North Korea would trigger an escalation of the showdown.
"I'm not predicting they will go into a mode of escalation. They might, they might not," he said.
He also dismissed suggestions that North Korea had taken such a tough stance because the United States was not using enough leverage to make it back down.
"Presure is not the most productive line of approach," Bosworth said, adding Pyongyang responds well to incentives.
South Korean President Lee Myung-Bak said he expects the communist North to try to press ahead with a planned rocket launch Saturday, brushing off calls for restraint by the international community.
The United States and its allies, particularly South Korea and Japan, have condemned the plan as a threat to regional stability and urged the reclusive regime to call off the launch.
But Lee, speaking to a small group of reporters in London, said he believed the North would press ahead Saturday if the weather is good enough.
