korea so that's it just down the what are the chances that north korea will go back to the six party talks now. or that. well like in all situations of this kind the chances are dependent on the future course of events we have to take into account the incident with the sinking of the corvette if no specific attention is paid to that because i don't think there is any solid proof that north korea did in fact sink the ship then peter kay will return to negotiations these talks are important for economies and you know other ways to try to accusations are made over worldwide media channels then p.r. kate michael out of talks but globally north korea is interested in taking part in these negotiations as they can help improve the overall situation and bring back the support of some nations for p.r. k. of course china is a north korea site the talks can help bring the situation at least partly to the level it was when south korea's late president was conducting soft diplomatic negotiations. of nice but you mentioned the south korean ship that was sunk and russia along with some other countr

korea at the same time it seems that north korea was nearly ready to go back to the six party talks do you think the us is any fuel to the flames. i don't think the us is interested in any kind of intentional exacerbation of the situation and going into extremes taking into account the fact that they have problems in iraq as well as in afghanistan therefore starting up something new is unlikely at the same time it naturally has some concerns just like everyone else just like us china like japan like south korea everyone has concerns and does not want to pyongyang to get hold of nuclear weapons therefore all the countries who don't want this to happen are using their own methods russia and china are taking quite diplomatic action at a confidential level while south korea and japan and the united states traditionally resort to sanctions it's kid glove diplomacy yes what are the chances that north korea will go back to the six party talks now. with. well i can all situations of this kind the chances are dependent on the future course of events we have to take into account the incident

korea could have gained from it there is a version sort of a rumor that officially north korea deny severing anything to do with the sinking of the ship but it's secret close to party rallies they discuss it and think that there are heroes by a person who do not believe in this double thinking it's too risky and just so when the market but then so we're in the good now of the scene do you think the commission was biased dorda i think it was it was biased but not too much i will repeat that the us japan south korea russia and china do not need the situation in the region to become more tense they do not want the sinking of another ship or shooting there but the committee was bias just enough to demonstrate that the north korean regime is bad and dangerous but not so biased as to lead to a war and we're going to get. russia held its own investigation into the case isn't going to change the situation somehow. more thing i thought when i put it in my opinion the results one influence the situation much unfortunately or just objective way in the opinion of the us europe and japan both ru

and south korea thinks that it was the work of the north korea but thinking sometimes is one and taking measures is another. who could be interested in destabilizing the region we had brought him here what if we leave out the theory of night she's hiding in argentina the nobody i heard a version of the north korean government has the so-called of the hawks and the hawks feeling weakness of their position purposely saying the ship without giving notice to kim to hear but that's nonsense i can give you an example imagine the law enforcement officers who go finds out that stalin wants to move into a less thorough third of position and he sends a bomber to berlin just for the sake of making a town situation and keeping the post for what it's nonsense so. what are the so-called families millions of kinship there or here who. say that every ruling family has said and many millions or even billions but millions are now not a great sound like you used to be when in one thousand nine hundred thirty seven matches were hiding millions for example russia sold all asked to the us for. five million d

china has been on north korea's side of course you talk ski. bring back the situation at least partly to the level of was in south korea's late president was conducting sort of diplomatic negotiations if the i was but she was listening because you mentioned the south korean ship that was sunk and rushing along with some other countries is not convinced by the results of the international commission investigation that blames north korea why is that. the one. with loving and powerful who are the reason was that or so far as i know and they found no parts of debris of the two peter which could definitely show there had been a me the north korea there was just one letter but there was an objective proof is just like in court any doubts are interpreted in favor of the accused i personally do not understand why north korea should have sunk the ship from an example of terrorists including al qaeda we know that every terror act is usually announced worldwide but as we know there were no celebrations in north korea related to the sinking of the south ko

doubts are interpreted in favor of the accused i personally do not understand why north korea should have sunk the ship where he said i'm an example of terrorists including al qaeda we know that every terror act is usually announced worldwide it's a little bit but as we know there were no celebrations in north korea related to the sinking of a south korean ship on the contrary they denied doing it then why should they have done this if they did not have the rest of the havoc on one hand and on the other it would not have helped to reduce the number of the south korean fleet but you have they have enough shares or their threat of war coming from south korea to work out i don't think so ready room and set about i think will gain from it if i can see how north korea could have a gauge for listening if there is a version sort of a rumor earlier hit officially north korea denies having anything to do with the sinking of the ship but its united party rallies the this and i think that there are heroes by a person who do not believe in this double thinking it's too risky or it was just silly

china has been on north korea's side of course the talks can bring back the situation please partly to do level that was in south korea's late president was conducting sort of diplomatic negotiations if the. the sinking of a south korean ship became one of the reasons for tension in the region that russia and few other countries the. that the international commission which was not very objective what was the reason to doubt. both loving and perform. the reason was that a supplier zinah when they found no parts of debris of the two peter one which could definitely show there's been a me the north korea there was just one letter but there was an objective proof is just like in court any doubts are interpreted in favor of the big queues i personally do not understand why north korea should have sunk the ship where he said i'm an example of terrorists including al qaeda we know that every terror act is usually announced worldwide it's a little bit but as we know there were no celebrations in north korea related to the sinking of a south korean ship on the contrary they denied doing it then

stance on north korea is the only official ally of china chinese porton korea in the korean. war in one hundred fifty three of the last one million people and of course they treasure those relations they want to you know to stay allies of north korea at the same time they do understand that north korean economy doesn't work well they encourage north koreans to promote reforms to make the economy more market oriented they try to encourage north korea to be more open to the world and they're very much against north korea having nuclear weapons but they do say chinese that the reason most korea wants to have nuclear weapons is because america doesn't profit most most korea puts pressure on north korea and the bush for example was very warlike against north korea the chinese way of dealing with this issue is to see to the table and try to solve issues in a peaceful way and chinese say that america should recognize north korea as an. independent country they don't have diplomatic relations so far and america should start political and economic relations with north korea and as a r

korea the armed forces remain in their current position i think it's just natural for north korea to take the stance of a military that's how would it most i think they're not actually chances off. and i . think it is so i don't think that the united states is interested in any kind of intentional on exacerbation of the situation and going to extremes taking into account the fact that they have problems in iraq as well as an afghanistan therefore starting up something new was unlikely at the same time and naturally has concerns just.

korea to be more open to the world and they're very much against north korea having nuclear weapons but they do say chinese that the reason most korea wants to have nuclear weapons is because america doesn't profit most most korea puts pressure on north korea and the bush for example is very warlike against north korea the chinese way of dealing with this issue is to see to the table and try to solve issues in a peaceful way and chinese say that america should recognize north korea as an. independent country they don't have diplomatic relations so far and america should start political and economic relations with north korea and as a result most korea will start to change and this is the basic position of china in the basic position of russia so the purpose of both china and russia now to bring those part this again at the table and continue negotiations it's not talking about russia and china other two countries culp racing or rather competing today i would say that corporate and work pretty much better than we corporation ever before even when we were allies in the fifty's and fif
