Secretary of State Clinton, after meeting Czech Republic Foreign Minister Schwarzenberg February 10 in Washington, stated, "I am going to Asia to reassert our commitment to our allies and partners in Asia, to work on a range of issues with Japan and South Korea, China, and Indonesia, as well as reaching out to the rest of East Asia. And clearly, with respect to North Korea, our position remains the same. We intend to pursue the Six-Party Talks. We expect that - with our partners in those talks to continue a policy that would lead to the denuclearization of North Korea and the end of any proliferating activities by North Korea." [More]
