ON-THE-RECORD REMARKS BY
SPOKESMAN RICHARD BOUCHER
Monday, September 11, 2000
We were informed this morning that Foreign Minister Paek would not be
able to attend the UN General Assembly session. We were told that this
was for "unavoidable reasons," but not provided any further details.
However, the North Koreans did assure us that this development would
not have a negative effect on the ongoing US-North Korean dialogue,
and we have no indication from the North Koreans that Foreign Minister
Paek's travel plans are in any way connected with the events at
Frankfurt Airport.
We are currently working through the New York channel to schedule
another round of missile talks with the North Koreans. The last round
took place in Kuala Lumpur on July 10-12, and we hope the next round
will take place soon.
