Christopher Hill Talk Quotations

If we're not going to be here ... we'll have to talk about what possible way we might wind this up,

The problem is you talk to one side and get one view and you talk to the other side and you get a view 180 degrees to the opposite.

We're not expecting North Korea to become a Jeffersonian democracy, but we do expect them to sit down and talk to us about these issues, to talk to the international community.

The sooner the better (when it comes to the resumption of six-way talks). We are very much committed to the six-party talk process (and) we want to get moving on it.

I'm not sure there is really much more I can talk to them about...I think they ought to come back to the six-party talks without any condition.

If I were optimistic or pessimistic it really wouldn't make much difference. The fact is, we have to talk to them and see where we are.

The North Koreans have not yet decided to return to the (six-party) talks. I'm not sure there's much more I can talk to them about.
