By Hwang Doo-hyong
WASHINGTON, June 10 (Yonhap) -- The U.S. assistant secretary of state-designate,
Kurt Campbell, urged North Korea Wednesday to return to the six-party talks on
ending its nuclear ambitions, saying Washington will not accept a nuclear North
Korea.
"We've got to make clear to the North Koreans that should they decide to return
to the table for negotiations in a multilateral context, we'd be prepared to do
that," Campbell, the nominee for the assistant secretary for East Asia and
Pacific affairs, said in a Senate Foreign Relations Committee confirmation
hearing. "We've also been very clear that we cannot accept a nuclear North
Korea."
