Transcripts at the 'Korea Re-examined' conference dinner Sydney University, 13 February 2003 It is a great pleasure to address this distinguished gathering of leading Australian and Korean business people and academics. The timing of your conference is especially well judged in light of the forthcoming inauguration of President-elect Roh Moo-hyun, in less than two weeks ( on 25 February I met President-elect Noh's special envoy, Chong Dong-young, at the World Economic Forum in Davos three weeks ago, and we discussed a number of issues of common interest at length. I look forward to continuing the warm and productive relations Australia has enjoyed with President-elect Noh's predecessors across a broad range of issues of mutual interest and concern. Today our relationship encompasses trade, investment, and our economies, as well as the security and stability of the region. Since 1997, the South Korean economy has made a remarkable recovery backed up by solid corporate sector reform. Our bilateral trade, similarly, has recovered to around A$14.7 billion in 2002; an increase of around 50 percent since 1997.

Extractions: HISTORY ... VIETNAM North Korea faces immense challenges in feeding its population while maintaining great ambivalence about economic reform and relaxing its defensive posture vis-à-vis its neighbors and most of the rest of the world. For the United States, containing North Korea's nuclear weapons program while encouraging any opening to the outside world that may reasonably be possible is a significant policy challenge. In this case, US willingness to cooperate with regional and other countries and to work toward multilateral and nonmilitary solutions is a hopeful sign. The Stanley Foundation hopes to develop programs that will lead to the search for common ground with North Korea, while promoting mutual and equal dialogue, expanded contacts, and improved communications and information-sharing toward the goal of a normalized political and economic relationship.

Extractions: Responsible options for Japan If we consider the four points raised above in reverse order, first, Japan can begin by admitting its historical responsibility to North Korea, and act in good faith by taking care of compensation to the nation and individual victims. Instead, the Japanese government has chosen to start with the issue of the alleged abduction of its ten citizens. Of course, the agony suffered by the families of those believed to have been abducted is not difficult to imagine. However, North Korea's refusal to accept the Japanese government's position of starting talks with that issue, without an official apology and compensation for the hundreds of thousands of "comfort women" and forced laborers who were also "abducted" in wartime, is understandable. Japan must first make it clear that it owes responsibility for its actions during the colonial period, and then proceed to put the issue of the missing Japanese citizens on the table. This is the proper order of things, which may be called a modest initiative Japan can take. In effect, what does the Japanese government hope to accomplish by raising its abduction issue at the beginning of normalization talks, practically blocking any further progress? Besides, if there really are abducted Japanese citizens, the question must be handled by the Japanese government with realistic caution so that no harm befalls these people.

Extractions: Today President George W. Bush, President Kim Dae-Jung, and Prime Minister Junichiro Koizumi met to reaffirm their commitment to a peaceful Korean peninsula free of nuclear weapons. The three leaders agreed that North Korea's program to enrich uranium for nuclear weapons is a violation of the Agreed Framework, the Non-Proliferation Treaty, North Korea's IAEA safeguards agreement, and the South-North Joint Declaration on Denuclearization of the Korean peninsula. The three leaders called upon North Korea to dismantle this program in a prompt and verifiable manner and to come into full compliance with all its international commitments in conformity with North Korea's recent commitment in the Japan-North Korea Pyongyang Declaration. In this context, the three leaders agreed to continue close coordination. The three leaders stressed their commitment to resolve this matter peacefully in close consultation trilaterally and with other concerned nations around the globe.

Extractions: I welcome yesterday's strong statement by the Korean Peninsula Energy Development Organization (KEDO) on the need for North Korea to eliminate its nuclear weapons program and its decision to suspend further shipment of fuel oil to North Korea beginning in December. We are working closely with our partners in KEDO and our friends around the world to address this shared challenge. North Korea has acknowledged that it is actively pursuing a nuclear weapons program based on enriched uranium. This program undermines regional and international security and the international nonproliferation regime. North Korea is also in direct violation of the North's commitments under the Agreed Framework, the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT), its International Atomic Energy Agency Safeguards Agreement, and the Joint North-South Declaration on the Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. North Korea's clear violation of its international commitments will not be ignored. The United States hopes for a different future with North Korea. As I made clear during my visit to South Korea in February, the United States has no intention of invading North Korea. This remains the case today. The United States seeks friendship with the people of North Korea.

Through this program, students can prepare for graduate work in Asian studies, or in such disciplines as anthropology, political science, comparative literature, sociology, and history. The program emphasizes the study of Korea in the context of East Asian and Asian civilization and the modern world economy, not simply as a single country in isolation from its neighbors. Students are encouraged to take related courses on China, on Japan, and in international studies, so that they will emerge from their experience at the University with comprehensive training.

Extractions: Friday, Jan. 17, 2003 Beijings willingness to sell and transfer critical components of WMD [weapons of mass destruction] technology makes China directly or indirectly a key component of the global proliferation of nuclear and missile technology, according to Thomas Woodrow, onetime senior analyst at the Defense Intelligence Agency (DIA). In a report prepared for the Jamestown Foundation, Woodrow informs us that though "Beijing may have had its political reasons for assisting Pakistan and North Korea, in doing so, it has opened the Pandoras box of regional nuclear arms race. Apparently, other nations are taking note of this. Some have reacted by accelerating or contemplating their own nuclear buildups:

Extractions: A SENSE OF ASIA See the Sol Sanders Archive By Sol Sanders SPECIAL TO WORLD TRIBUNE.COM January 14, 2003 If the axis of evil was only a rhetorical phrase when President Bush threw it out just a year ago a misguided one his critics maintain that is certainly no longer the case. Every day presents new evidence the two major foreign policy issues are no more separated than the three Axis powers of World War II. Naming the North Koreans as international culprits did not provoke a new crisis in the Peninsula. Just as in 1993-94, when they first used the threat of weapons of mass destruction to squeeze aid and a respite for a tottering regime from the Clinton Administration, the formula is much the same. Their threat of a new nuclear weapons program and further development of missiles was already underway. While their goals may seem lunatic to the rest of the world, the North Korean leadership with one whopping exception,, the initiation of the Korean War in 1950 always has shown cunning to play from a weak hand. Now, as in the past, their tactics have been brutal and often cavalier; their propaganda has been Goebbels-style the big lie and baseless calumny. But all, as they say, has been crazy as a fox. Their long and successful use of competition between Communist China and the Soviet Union has now been replaced by a more sophisticated manipulation of Japan, South Korea, Russia, and even China, against the U.S. and each other. Their appeal to Korean nationalism in a newly prosperous and self-confident South Korea is clever and has accurate gauged the mood. Their appeal to Japanese leadership suddenly plunged into the realities of WMD so near at hand, partially succeeds. They know they present their Chinese Communist partners with equally unpleasant alternatives if Beijing intervenes nuclear weapons in the Korean peninsular if Pyongyang goes ahead, and possibly eventually as a result in Japan and Taiwan, or implosion of a regime if the pressure to halt it should go awry that would bring a flood of refugees and probably the unwanted reunification of Korea.

Extractions: 18 March 2003 Use this version to print Send this link by email Email the author Even as the US prepares to launch an all-out invasion of Iraq, the Bush administration has sharply raised the military stakes on the Korean peninsula by significantly bolstering its ability to launch air strikes on North Korea. Last week the Pentagon dispatched six F-117A stealth fighters to South Korea, nominally as part of annual joint exercises. The aircraft carrier USS Carl Vinson and its associated battle group arrived at the port of Busan last weekend carrying 5,000 soldiers and sailors. They joined South Korean troops and the 37,000 US troops permanently stationed in South Korea for military drills scheduled to run to April 2. The deployment of F-117A warplanes is, however, clearly aimed at sending a message to Pyongyang. The radar-evading stealth fighters were last sent to South Korea in 1993 when the Clinton administration was on the brink of ordering an attack on North Korean nuclear facilities. As all sides were acutely aware, such an air raid had the potential for triggering a devastating full-scale war on the peninsula.
