Update on the Six-Party Talks

On February 22, the Brookings Institution, the Asia Society, and the Korea Economic Institute hosted Christopher R. Hill, assistant secretary of state for East Asian and Pacific Affairs, for a conversation on North Korea and the six-party talks. Ambassador Hill discussed the results of the latest round of talks and the prospects for the future of the process.

Ambassador Hill returned from the six-party talks on North Korea’s nuclear disarmament. This session of the talks produced a written agreement that begins the process of implementing the joint statement of September 19, 2005, which committed North Korea to denuclearization.
