克里:平壤遠未滿足重啓會談的先決條件

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has met with South Korean President Park Geun-hye and Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se in Seoul to discuss security on the Korean peninsula and bilateral issues.

At a joint news conference after the meetings on Monday, Kerry said North Korea has "not even come close" to taking the steps needed to rein in its nuclear weapons program for Washington to initiate talks, adding that it was necessary to boost pressure on Pyongyang.

North Korea is already under heavy U.N. sanctions for its missile and nuclear tests.

Kerry also said it is likely the North will be referred to the International Criminal Court if its current violations of human rights continue.

On Sunday in Beijing, Kerry met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. A senior State Department official said they discussed a shared commitment to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and agreed on the importance of maintaining pressure on Pyongyang.

The official said they also talked about climate change, the nuclear negotiations with Iran, providing development aid around the world, and Afghanistan.

Kerry also expressed concern about China's ongoing land reclamation in the South China Sea and highlighted the need to lower tensions, resolve disputes peacefully, respect international law, and to exercise restraint.美國國務卿克里會見了韓國總統朴槿惠和外長尹炳世，雙方討論了朝鮮半島安全局勢和雙邊問題。

星期一的會見結束後，克里在聯合記者會上說，朝鮮還遠未準備採取必要步驟來限制其核項目，因此華盛頓不能與其展開會談。克里還表示，必須加緊對平壤施壓。

由於朝鮮試射導彈和進行核試驗，聯合國已對朝鮮實行嚴厲的制裁。

克里還說，如果朝鮮目前的侵犯人權行徑繼續下去，很可能將平壤送交國際刑事法院。

克里星期日在北京會晤了中國國家主席習近平。美國國務院一名高級官員說，他們談到將共同致力於朝鮮半島無核化，並且就繼續對朝鮮保持壓力的重要性達成一致。

這名官員說，他們還討論了氣候變化、伊朗核談判、在世界範圍內提供發展援助、以及阿富汗問題。

克里還對中國在南中國海的圍海造地行動表達了關切。他強調了緩和緊張局勢、和平解決爭端、尊重國際法和保持克制的必要性。
