EU wants to encourage dialogue with North Korea
EU foreign ministers discussed ties with North Korea in their meeting in Luxembourg today. In their conclusions, the ministers noted that "the positive signals made by North Korea in recent days on the question of a multilateral framework for dialogue should be encouraged." The ministers agreed to review the issue at a later stage in the light of further developments. The EU summit in March had suggested that a special EU meeting on North Korea be held with neighboring countries including China and Japan. How does one have a dialogue with someone whose conversation alternates between extolling the virtues of juche and saying he wants to turn your country into a sea of fire? There're only so many things to discuss, aren't there? Posted by: Fred Pruitt 2003-04-15 |
