EAST ASIA: A US Perspective on East Asia Security - Inside the Six-Party Talks |
| Outline: |
Asialink together with the US Consulate General are pleased to present James Kelly, the former US Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs at an Asialink Public Lecture.
James Kelly led the US delegation into the first three sessions of the Six Party Talks. The Six-Party Talks address one of the core issues threatening the security of the North East Asian region – North Korea's Nuclear Weapons Programme. Through the six-party talks the two Koreas, Japan, China, Russia and the US seek to negotiate peaceful solutions to the pressing nuclear issue. These talks present one of the toughest multilateral and diplomatic challenges.

From 1983 to 1986, he was at the Pentagon as Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defence for International Security Affairs (East Asia and Pacific).
