Kenichiro Sasae North Quotations

If we can establish a specific goal of between six to nine months for having North Korea abandon its nuclear weapons program and rejoin the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty, we will be able to establish a more forward-looking implementation pace for achieving the proposals of the entire joint statement.

We are approaching the final stage. We are doing our most to reach an agreement, but much depends on North Korea's attitude.

North Korea should wipe out suspicions it is playing for time,

The result of this round of talks will depend on whether or not North Korea can actually commit itself to a strategic decision to abandon all of its nuclear arms and nuclear programs,

The central aim of the talks is to come up with specific measures to ensure that North Korea keep its promise to give up its nuclear weapons.

I told Kim about the (DNA) results. I asked North Korea to deal with this sincerely.
