Script | (SUGGESTED TRANSCRIPT OF AUDIO)North Korea's development of nuclear weapons is a very serious security issue. And it's especially dangerous when we see the North Korea at the same time as developing and testing ballistic missiles, which have the range to reach South Korea and Japan. If we do not come up with some solution to this problem, we could end up with a nuclear arms race in the Asia Pacific region, as other nations move to counter the efforts of North Korea. And we're concerned about proliferation as well. North Korea's history of ever responsible arms sales adds to our concern over its potential possession of nuclear weapons. But while we are seriously concerned with the threat that could develop if North Korea develops significant nuclear capability, I want to emphasize that I do not believe that there is a danger of imminent military confrontation. Indeed, we are pursuing a firm that patient diplomatic steps with North Korea on their nuclear program. But at the same time, we are prudently increasing the defensive capability of our forces there in the event our diplomacy is not successful. Through the exhibits here today it makes you very glad |
