REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT
UPON DEPARTURE FROM AUCKLAND, NEW ZEALAND
Stamford Plaza Hotel
Auckland, New Zealand
7:55 A.M. (L)
THE PRESIDENT:
.............
Let me say finally, this week we made progress on another crucial
security issue, building peace and reconciliation on the Korean Peninsula.
Following talks in Berlin, we understand and expect that North Korea will
refrain from testing long-range missiles of any kind, while our discussions
continue. It's an important initial step in addressing our concerns about
North Korea's missile program.
We're, in turn, considering measures to ease sanctions and move toward
normalizing economic relations with North Korea. The work we've done in
the past few days will help to build a more secure, more prosperous, more
integrated Asia Pacific region. It will give our citizens -- all our
citizens, all the way from New Zealand back to Washington -- better lives
in the 21st century.
Thank you very much.
