fund meeting neither prepared states united
I must say it was a meeting in which we did not make a lot of progress. Neither the United States or any other participant is prepared to fund a light-water reactor.
besides discussed meetings plan purpose sure
I don't have any plan because meetings should have a purpose and we've already discussed our positions. So I'm not sure of the purpose to have a meeting, besides (that) I'm in Tokyo.
further meetings
I don't have any further six-party meetings planned, to my knowledge.

I know we have had two discussions within the New York channel, and I can't say really there has been progress, ... We will have a better idea about what the DPRK position is.

The Beijing agreement on principle in September I think was a very important agreement, but it needs to be followed up on an agreement on implementation.
good korea north nuclear realize relations security tied understand weapons
They have to come to realize that nuclear weapons for North Korea do nothing for North Korea's security, ... We need to get North Korea to understand that its security is not tied up with nuclear weapons. Its security is tied up in good relations with other countries.
