Powell: China should take more active
role in North Korean nuclear dispute
8y Christopher Torchia
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
SEOUL, South Korea —
China should take a more
Wive role in urging North
taa to abandon its nuclear
flies, Secretary of State
ft Powell said Sunday.
Powell said in U.S. televi-
ion appearances that he
klleved there eventually
vould be talks between
Washington and Pyongyang,
hut he said they should occur
in a multilateral setting
because the situation involved
China, Russia, Japan, South
Korea and other countries.
“We should not let North
Korea dictate the terms under
which these conversations take
place. I think there will ulti
mately be conversations, but I
Ihink other nations have a role
to play,” Powell said on Fox
Sunday News.
Powell cited China, which
has called for the denucleariza
tion of the Korean Peninsula
and is a traditional ally of
North Korea.
“They have considerable
influence with North Korea,”
Powell said.
“Half their foreign aid goes
to North Korea. Eighty percent
of North Korea’s wherewithal,
with respect to energy and eco
nomic activity, comes from
China. China has a role to play,
and 1 hope China will play that
role.”
However, China’s ties with
North Korea have waned over
the years. Also, China likely is
mindful that economic pressure
on North Korea could send
more destitute North Koreans
across the border, leading to a
humanitarian crisis on Chinese
soil.
The crisis over North
Korea’s nuclear programs
began in October when U.S.
officials said North Korean
officials admitted they had a
clandestine nuclear weapons
program.
Washington and its allies
then suspended oil shipments,
and North Korea responded by
taking steps to reactivate
nuclear facilities frozen under
a 1994 energy deal with the
United States.
Secretary of Defense
Donald H. Rumsfeld said in
Munich, Germany, that most
intelligence services know the
North Koreans have “one or
two nuclear weapons” and
“they may have enough
nuclear material to make an
additional six to eight nuclear
weapons” by May or June.
On ABC’s “This Week,”
Powell said it was important to
involve other countries in any
negotiated solution because
North Korea had violated the
1994 deal with Washington.
“And so we have to make
sure we just don’t go down that
path again, because we are
worried about what they are
doing,” he said. “We’re work
ing with our friends and allies.
And we are using the channels
we have with North Korea.”
South Korea wants
Washington to open direct talks
with North Korea as soon as
possible.
The board of the Vienna,
Austria-based U.N. nuclear
watchdog, the International
Atomic Energy Agency, will
meet Wednesday to review the
standoff with North Korea,
raising the likelihood it will
refer the dispute to the Security
Council. The council could
consider economic and politi
cal sanctions.
While President Bush
believes the standoff can be
resolved peacefully, he said
Friday that “all options are on
the table,” suggesting that
Washington would consider
military action.
North Korea accuses the
United States of inciting the
current nuclear tension as a
pretext to invade the commu
nist county, and has warned of
a “total war” that could devas
tate both Koreas.
