SEOUL, South Korea ? The top U.S. diplomat for East Asia is reassuring South Korea that any diplomatic dealings with North Korea will be backed up by an unwavering U.S.-South Korea military presence.
Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell said in a speech Tuesday at a dinner hosted by The Korea Society in Seoul that "there is hope in diplomacy" but that hope rests on "the reality of a very strong deterrence from the military."
He says North Korea must improve relations with rival South Korea before it can have better relations with the world.
Many are closely watching U.S.-North Korea ties for clues about the direction North Korea will take as new leader Kim Jong Un works to consolidate power after his father's Dec. 17 death.
