United Nations Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon speaks with CBS News correspondent Pamela Falk about the possibility of better relations between North and South Korea now that Kim Jong Un is in power.
seriously, the 6-party talks wont accomplish shit. The russians, chinese, japanese, and americans will always oppose korean unification. They have no choice.
These four countries benefit HUGELY from keeping korea divided through arms sales, reduced export competition, and a quieter border for china.
ON IRAN: "I am most concerned by the recent IAEA (International Atomic Energy Agency) report, which indicates that there is the possibility of a military dimension of the Iranian nuclear activities, and it is important that Iranian authorities fully comply with relevant Security Council Resolutions.""The onus is on them to prove the nature of the peaceful uses of nuclear activities."
On NORTH KOREA: "I am concerned by such strong rhetoric...As Secretary-General of the U.N., as one of the Korean citizens, I am committed to do whatever I can for the peace and prosperity and eventual reunification. Reunification is an ardent aspiration of 70 million Korean people, therefore I am optimistic that one day, sure, we will have reunification."
U.N. Secretary General said, ON SYRIA: "What is most important at this time is that President Assad must stop killing his people. It is totally unacceptable that even during the visit of the monitoring team of the League of Arab states, they have been killing people. This is not acceptable."
