克里:平壤远未满足重启会谈的先决条件

U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry has met with South Korean President Park Geun-hye and Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se in Seoul to discuss security on the Korean peninsula and bilateral issues.

At a joint news conference after the meetings on Monday, Kerry said North Korea has "not even come close" to taking the steps needed to rein in its nuclear weapons program for Washington to initiate talks, adding that it was necessary to boost pressure on Pyongyang.

North Korea is already under heavy U.N. sanctions for its missile and nuclear tests.

Kerry also said it is likely the North will be referred to the International Criminal Court if its current violations of human rights continue.

On Sunday in Beijing, Kerry met with Chinese President Xi Jinping. A senior State Department official said they discussed a shared commitment to the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula and agreed on the importance of maintaining pressure on Pyongyang.

The official said they also talked about climate change, the nuclear negotiations with Iran, providing development aid around the world, and Afghanistan.

Kerry also expressed concern about China's ongoing land reclamation in the South China Sea and highlighted the need to lower tensions, resolve disputes peacefully, respect international law, and to exercise restraint.美国国务卿克里会见了韩国总统朴槿惠和外长尹炳世，双方讨论了朝鲜半岛安全局势和双边问题。

星期一的会见结束后，克里在联合记者会上说，朝鲜还远未准备采取必要步骤来限制其核项目，因此华盛顿不能与其展开会谈。克里还表示，必须加紧对平壤施压。

由于朝鲜试射导弹和进行核试验，联合国已对朝鲜实行严厉的制裁。

克里还说，如果朝鲜目前的侵犯人权行径继续下去，很可能将平壤送交国际刑事法院。

克里星期日在北京会晤了中国国家主席习近平。美国国务院一名高级官员说，他们谈到将共同致力于朝鲜半岛无核化，并且就继续对朝鲜保持压力的重要性达成一致。

这名官员说，他们还讨论了气候变化、伊朗核谈判、在世界范围内提供发展援助、以及阿富汗问题。

克里还对中国在南中国海的围海造地行动表达了关切。他强调了缓和紧张局势、和平解决争端、尊重国际法和保持克制的必要性。
