美谈判代表：北。韩。拖延核会谈不会有更好结果 (US Negotiator Says North Korean Delays on Nuke Talks Will Not Produce Better Deal)

一名美国高级外交官对于北。韩。拒绝恢复解决其核项目问题的六方会谈感到沮丧，他说拖延不会为平壤带来更好的结果。

北。韩。去年9月同意放弃核项目，以换取援助和安全保证，但是后来谈判人员在11月会晤时没有在这个问题上取得任何进展。平壤坚持美国应该首先取消对它的制裁。

美国助理国务卿希尔今天在新加坡表示，等待两三年并不会产生更好的结果。希尔说，另外5个谈判国家目前正准备恢复谈判，北。韩。拖延只能进一步损害它的经济。

A top U.S. diplomat has expressed frustration with North Korea's refusal to resume six-party talks about its nuclear program, saying the delay will not produce a better deal for Pyongyang.

North Korea agreed in September to give up its nuclear program in exchange for aid and security guarantees, but then negotiators met in November and failed to make any progress on the deal. Pyongyang insists the United States first lift sanctions against it.

Speaking in Singapore today (Monday), U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Christopher Hill said waiting two or three years will not result in better deal. Hill said the five negotiating countries (Russia, China, U.S., South Korea, Japan) are ready to resume talks now, and North Korea's stalling only further damages its economy.
