Kissinger Meets With Clark Over North Korea Nuke Crisis
By Selwyn Manning – in Seoul

Former United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger met with New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark today in Seoul to discuss the North Korea nuclear crisis.

Kissinger is in South Korea officially representing the United States of America at the 50th Anniversary Armistice commemorations.

On exiting the Hyatt Hotel meeting in Seoul, Kissinger stressed talks with North Korea must be advanced. He said however the United States intends to play a major role, alongside China, in encouraging North Korea to rethink its move to equip itself with nuclear weapons.

Kissinger however made it clear, the United States is determined to prevent China from becoming the diplomatic peace-maker.

Kissinger said today China’s role in resolving the North Korea nuclear crisis was important but added: ‘we shouldn't present it as if China was being involved in this to do a favour to other countries.”

"The challenge is to find a method and approach in which China's interests are as involved as ours," Kissinger said.

China has in recent weeks been actively brokering a meeting between it and North Korea in Beijing. That meeting looks likely within weeks. Yesterday, New Zealand Prime Minister Helen Clark said it is important that China take a lead in bringing about peaceful dialogue.

Did Clark pass on a message to Kissinger on behalf of South Korea, and China?

Perhaps. Clark has quickly positioned herself as an intermediary in the North Korea/South Korea/USA stand-off.

Last week Clark met in New Zealand with the seventh ranked member of the Chinese Government, Mr Li Chang Chun. Friday she met with South Korea President Roh Moo-hyun. Saturday, she had a 45 minute ‘unofficial’ meeting with Henry Kissinger in Seoul. And as Kissinger said today, he has a close friendship with the Bush Administration. The series of meetings stacks up like a diary entry for a future UN secretary general.
