[Title] TCOG Joint Press Statement The delegations of the United States of America, the Republic of Korea, and Japan, headed respectively by Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs James A. Kelly, Deputy Foreign Minister Lee Tae-Sik, and Director-General of Asian and Oceanian Affairs Mitoji Yabunaka, held this year's first Trilateral Coordination and Oversight Group (TCOG) meeting, in Washington, D.C., on January 7, 2003. The three delegations called upon North Korea to eliminate its nuclear weapons program, which constitutes a violation of its international commitments. They reiterated their intention to pursue a peaceful and diplomatic resolution of the issue. They stressed that North Korea's relations with the entire international community hinge on its taking prompt and verifiable action to completely dismantle its nuclear weapons program and come into full compliance with its international nuclear commitments. The three delegations expressed serious concern over the recent steps taken by North Korea to lift its nuclear freeze and called upon North Korea to undo these measures and not take any precipitous action. The three delegations expressed strong support for the resolution adopted on January 6 by the IAEA Board of Governors, which calls upon North Korea to cooperate urgently and fully with the IAEA to comply with its Safeguards Agreement under the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. They noted that the unanimous passage of the resolution underscores the broad international consensus that the North Korean actions are unacceptable. The three delegations stressed that there is no security rationale for North Korea to possess nuclear weapons. The U.S. delegation reiterated President Bush's statement that the United States poses no threat and has no intention of invading North Korea. ROK and Japanese delegations renewed their strong welcome for the statement. The three delegations reaffirmed the importance of implementation of the Basic Agreement between South and North Korea on Reconciliation, Nonaggression, and Exchanges and Cooperation and the Joint South-North Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, both of which are premised on the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Reiterating that North Korea's relations with the international community depend on its verifiably ending its nuclear weapons program, the three delegations expressed their continued support for South-North dialogue and Japan-North Korea dialogue, based on the June 2000 Joint South-North Declaration and the Pyongyang Declaration, respectively. Such dialogues serve as important channels to resolve issues of bilateral concern and to call upon North Korea to quickly and visibly respond to the international community's demands for a denuclearized Korean Peninsula, thereby contributing to regional peace and stability. The U.S. delegation explained that the United States is willing to talk to North Korea about how it will meet its obligations to the international community. However, the U.S. delegation stressed that the United States will not provide quid pro quos to North Korea to live up to its existing obligations. The three delegations stressed that elimination of nuclear weapons programs by North Korea would provide an opportunity to return to a better path leading toward improved relations with the international community, thereby securing peace, prosperity, and security for all the countries of Northeast Asia. Finally, the three delegations reaffirmed that continued close consultations and coordination among the three countries remain vital in addressing this very serious issue. They agreed to hold the next round of trilateral consultations in the near future to further coordinate their respective policies toward North Korea.

वार्ताको शर्त निश्शस्त्रीकरणः अमेरिका अमेरिकी राष्ट्रपति कार्यालय ह्वाइट हाउसले उत्तर कोरियासँग हुने कुनै पनि संवादले उसको पारमाणविक अस्त्र कार्यक्रम अन्त्य गर्नुपर्ने बताएको छ। शीतकालीन ओलिम्पिक्सका क्रममा उत्तर कोरियाली प्रतिनिधिमण्डलले वाशिङटनसँग संवादका लागि इच्छा जाहेर गरेको कुरा दक्षिण कोरियाले बताएपछि ह्वाइट हाउसले त्यसप्रति प्रतिक्रिया जनाएको हो। ह्वाइट हाउसले भनेको छ, उत्तर कोरियाले निश्शस्त्रीकरणको बाटो अवलम्बन गरेमा उसका लागि 'उज्यालो बाटो' छ र वार्ताका लागि निश्शस्त्रीकरण शर्त पनि हो। यसअघि उत्तर कोरियाली विदेशमन्त्रीले शीतकालीन ओलिम्पिक्सका क्रममा दुई कोरियाले गरेको सहकार्यको प्रशंसा गरेका थिए। तर अमरिकाले लगाएको पछिल्लो प्रतिबन्धलाई युद्धका गतिविधि भन्दै उनले निन्दा गरे। प्रयास शीतकालीन ओलिम्पिक्समार्फत उत्तर कोरियाले दक्षिण कोरियासँगको आफ्नो सम्बन्ध सुधार गर्ने प्रयासहरू अघि बढाएको देखिन्छ। उत्तर कोरियाः बम र कूटनीतिको खेल इतिहास आफ्ना खेलाडी र खेलाडीलाई हौस्याउने 'चियर लिडर'हरू बाहेक उत्तर कोरियाली नेताकी बहिनी किम यो-जोङले ओलिम्पिक्सको उद्घाटन समारोहमा भाग लिएकी थिइन्। तर संयुक्त राज्य अमेरिकासँग भने त्यही तह र भावनामा उत्तर कोरियाले सम्बन्ध कायम गर्न सकेन। ओलिम्पिक्स उदघाटन समारोहका लागि तय भएको एउटा बैठक अचानक रद्द गरियो र अघिल्लो हप्ता मात्रै राष्ट्रपति ट्रम्पले उत्तरविरूद्ध नयाँ प्रतिबन्धहरू घोषणा गरे। तर ओलिम्पिक्सको समापन समारोहको केही अघि मात्रै दक्षिण कोरियाली राष्ट्रपति मून जे-इनसँग भएका वार्तामा उत्तर कोरियाली अधिकारीहरूले अमेरिकासँग संवाद गर्ने इच्छा प्रकट गरेका थिए। ह्वाइट हाउसले परमाणू अस्त्रबाट निश्शस्त्रीकरण हुने प्रतिबद्धता वार्ताको पूर्व शर्त भएको जनाएको छ। उसले भनेको छ, यदि प्योङयाङ पारमाणविक क्षेप्यास्त्र कार्यक्रम त्याग्न सहमत भए उत्तर कोरियाका लागि एउटा सुनौलो ढोका खुल्नेछ।
