Kerry Visits South Korea To Discuss Pressure On North Korea, Will Enlist China’s Help Next -- Washington Post
SEOUL — U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry met with South Korean leaders on Thursday to reinvigorate efforts to deter North Korea from pursuing nuclear arms. But how exactly the United States can accomplish that after decades of frustrated efforts remains a vexing problem with no immediate answers.
U.S. officials said Kerry planned to first coordinate with the South Koreans, then push Chinese leaders to increase their pressure on North Korea during a Beijing stop Friday.
A senior State Department official traveling with Kerry described the trip as “an effort to translate ‘denuclearization’ from a noun to a verb.” The official, who was not authorized to be quoted by name, said Kerry wants to “enlist greater and greater levels of Chinese cooperation in actually helping to achieve the goal of denuclearization, not just talking about it.”
The Asia tour comes at a difficult juncture for U.S. policy in the region.
