힐러리 로댐 클린턴 국무장관은 최근 핵무기를 실험하고 단거리 미사일을 잇따라 발사한 북한의 “도발적이고 호전적인 행동”에 대해 중대하고 효과적인 대응을 취하지 않을 경우 동북아시아에서 누구도 원치 않는 군비 경쟁을 촉발할 수 있다고 말했다.
U.S. Seeking Strong Response to North Korea’s Nuclear Actions By Merle David Kellerhals Jr. Staff Writer June 8, 2009 Washington — Not taking significant and effective action against North Korea’s recent “provocative and belligerent behavior” to test a nuclear weapon and launch repeated short-range missiles could spark an arms race in Northeast Asia that nobody wants, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says. “Part of what we’re doing is ... sharing with other countries our calculus of the risks and the dangers that would lie ahead if we don’t take very strong action,” Clinton said June 7 on ABC News’ This Week. The secretary held talks with South Korean Foreign Minister Yu Myung-Hwan in Washington June 5. At the same time, Deputy Secretary of State James Steinberg held meetings in Beijing with Chinese Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi, State Councilor Dai Binguo and Vice Foreign Minister Wu Dawei, who is also China’s senior North Korea envoy. Steinberg also met with South Korean officials in Seoul. President Obama is scheduled to meet with South Korean President Lee Myung-bak in Washington June 16, the White House announced June 8. North Korea conducted an underground nuclear explosion on May 25 (9 p.m. EDT May 24) and test-fired three short-range, ground-to-air and ground-to-ship ballistic missiles. On May 26, North Korea test-fired two more short-range missiles from its east coast missile test facility. North Korea has fired a sixth short-range missile since then. The U.N. Security Council on May 25 unanimously condemned North Korea’s nuclear test, including strong objections from China and Russia. Clinton said she has been in close communication with foreign ministers of the other nations engaged in the Six-Party Talks that are trying to convince the North Korean regime not to pursue development of a nuclear weapons program. The talks include China — which hosts the talks — North and South Korea, Japan, Russia and the United States. The ultimate objective is a nuclear weapons-free Korean Peninsula. And if North Korea tries to make shipments of its nuclear technology or related weapons, then the United States could seek help from its allies to cut off those shipments. Clinton said that “we will do everything we can to both interdict it and prevent it, and shut off their flow of money.” Clinton also said the State Department is reviewing a 2008 decision by the Bush administration that removed North Korea from the U.S. list of international state sponsors of terrorism. “We’re going to look at it. There’s a process for it,” she said. “Obviously, we would want to see recent evidence of their support for international terrorism.” The secretary said that because of North Korea’s recent actions, it has unified the other members of the Six-Party process. Washington has been in talks with the Security Council in New York to issue a new and stronger set of sanctions against North Korea that would include an arms embargo and other measures possibly with the full support of China and Russia, Clinton said. Previous efforts to halt North Korea’s international financial transactions when it has tested a nuclear weapon and launched long-range missiles have proved highly successful, preventing Pyongyang from easily moving money around. President Obama said June 6 at a joint press conference with French President Nicolas Sarkozy in Caen, France, that North Korea’s “actions over the last several months have been extraordinarily provocative and they have made no bones about the fact that they are testing nuclear weapons, testing missiles that potentially would have intercontinental capacity.” “We are not intending to continue a policy of rewarding provocation. I don’t think that there should be an assumption that we will simply continue down a path in which North Korea is constantly destabilizing the region and we just react in the same ways,” the president said.
