US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, who has been conducting provocations recently, has said she will not be dragged into provocations and will maintain the pressure on North Korea. Pompei repeatedly stressed that the goal of the final and complete denuclearization is to prevent the US government from having to open the North Korean nuclear file again.

Pompei, who attended a ceremony in California, said he would not step on the government's trail of denuclearization talks with North Korea.

[Pompeii / US Secretary of State: Past efforts and agreements with North Korea have only resulted in more North Korean nuclear and US diplomatic failures.]

It seems that the negotiations with North Korea in the past have made it clear that this time will not be repeated, just as North Korea has only given time to develop nuclear weapons.

In the meantime, we have repeatedly emphasized that the goal of negotiating the denuclearization with North Korea is final and fully substantiated denuclearization.

[Pompeii / US Secretary of State: Our diplomacy in North Korea focuses on making sure we do not have to open up the North's nuclear files twice.]

"We are trying to convince the Russians and China that the solution of the North Korean problem is in line with the interests of the world," he said.

It seems to have reaffirmed its position to maintain the US-led international pressure on North Korea, while checking China and Russia, which have recently moved closer to North Korea.

Pompeii 's words are that North Korea will not be compromised by North Korea' s subsequent denuclearization without first being dragged by North Korea 's subsequent military provocations.
