美国负责北韩核谈判的首席代表博斯沃思说，陷入僵局的谈判不大可能在近期恢复。博斯沃思大使星期三在前往北京之前在东京会见了媒体。他说，没有理由期望在今后几个星期看到一系列的外交活动。他说，会谈将不会重新启动，除非有“具体和切实的证据”，显示平壤对待谈判的态度是认真的。
北韩去年因试射一枚远程导弹以及随后又进行了一次核武器试验遭到联合国的谴责之后退出了会谈。联合国后来因为这些试验而对平壤实行了制裁。
博斯沃思说，在北韩重返六方会谈之前，这些制裁措施将继续有效。他说，奥巴马政府没有排除与北韩政权举行直接会谈。
The chief U.S. envoy to the North Korean nuclear negotiations says it is unlikely the stalled talks will resume in the near future.U.S. Ambassador Stephen Bosworth met with reporters in Tokyo Wednesday shortly before heading to Beijing. Bosworth said there is no reason to expect a flurry of diplomatic activity in the next few weeks. He said the talks will not restart until there is evidence of “specific and concrete ” actions by Pyongyang that indicate it is serious about negotiations.
North Korea withdrew from the talks last year after the United Nations condemned it for a test-launch of a long-range missile, followed by a test of a nuclear weapon. The U.N. later imposed sanctions on Pyongyang for the tests.
Bosworth says the sanctions will remain in place until North Korea returns to the six-party talks. He said the Obama administration has not ruled out direct talks with the regime.
