US Open to North Korea Talks if Missile Tests Halted

美國稱朝鮮停止導(dǎo)彈試驗(yàn)即可開啟對話

The American Secretary of State Rex Tillerson says North Korea could signal that it is ready for talks by halting its missile tests.

美國國務(wù)卿蒂勒森表示,朝鮮可以通過停止試射導(dǎo)彈發(fā)出準(zhǔn)備好談判的信號。

On Monday, Tillerson said, "We've not had an extended period of time where they have not taken some type of provocative action by launching ballistic missiles."

蒂勒森周一表示:“我們已經(jīng)很久都看不到朝鮮能夠在一段時期里不做出發(fā)射彈道導(dǎo)彈這樣的挑釁性行為了。”

The top U.S. diplomat went on to say that the strongest signal North Korea could send would be to "just stop these missile launches."

這位美國最高外交官還表示,朝鮮能夠發(fā)出的最強(qiáng)烈的信號就是停止發(fā)射導(dǎo)彈。

Tillerson spoke in Manilla, the Philippines, where he was taking part in a meeting of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN).

蒂勒森在菲律賓馬尼拉發(fā)表了上述言論,他在那里參加?xùn)|盟會議。

His comments follow a United Nations Security Council vote on Saturday. All members of the council, including China and Russia, voted to place additional sanctions on North Korea for its missile tests on July 4 and 28.

他的評論緊隨聯(lián)合國安理會周六的表決之后。包括中俄在內(nèi)的所有安理會成員投票決定對朝鮮7月4日和28日試射導(dǎo)彈實(shí)施新一輪制裁。

China, a North Korean ally, urged the country to halt its missile and nuclear tests saying the North should not "provoke international society's goodwill."

作為朝鮮盟友之一的中國督促該國停止其導(dǎo)彈和核試驗(yàn),并稱朝鮮不應(yīng)“挑釁國際社會的善意。”

The vote, Tillerson said, showed that the international community finds North Korea's actions unacceptable. He said he hoped that North Korea would choose a different pathway that would enable talks in the future.

蒂勒森表示,這次表決表明國際社會認(rèn)為朝鮮的行為是不可接受的。蒂勒森表示他希望朝鮮能夠選擇一條不一樣的道路,使得未來的對話成為可能。

"When the conditions are right then we can sit and have a dialogue around the future of North Korea so that they feel secure and prosper economically," he said.

他說:“當(dāng)條件合適的時候,我們可以坐下來,就朝鮮的未來進(jìn)行對話,這樣他們就能安心,經(jīng)濟(jì)上也能繁榮起來。”

In a statement late Sunday, the White House said President Donald Trump spoke to South Korea's president Moon Jae-in by telephone. The statement said the two leaders agreed that they would fully carry out the sanctions. They urged "the international community to do so as well." They also agreed that North Korea "poses a grave threat" to their countries and Japan.

白宮在周日發(fā)表的一份聲明中稱,川普總統(tǒng)同韓國總統(tǒng)文在寅進(jìn)行了通話。聲明表示,兩位領(lǐng)導(dǎo)人同意全面實(shí)施對朝鮮制裁,并督促國際社會也這么做。他們還認(rèn)同朝鮮對美韓以及日本構(gòu)成嚴(yán)重危險。

North Korea voices anger over new UN restrictions

朝鮮對聯(lián)合國一輪制裁表示憤怒

On Monday, the North Korean government denounced the new UN restrictions. North Korean state operated media said the North threatened to take revenge on the U.S. Through its media, North Korea also restated its position that sanctions will not force it to negotiate over its nuclear program. The country also threatened to take an "action of justice" although it did not say what that would be.

周一,朝鮮政府對聯(lián)合國新一輪制裁表示譴責(zé)。朝鮮國營媒體表示,朝鮮威脅要對美國實(shí)施報復(fù)。朝鮮還通過媒體再次重申了他們的立場,即制裁無法強(qiáng)迫他們就其核計(jì)劃進(jìn)行談判。該國還威脅要采取“正義行動”,但是并未做出具體說明。

The sanctions approved by the U.N. Security Council aim to cut about $1 billion from North Korea's $3 billion in yearly export income.

聯(lián)合國安理會通過的制裁的目標(biāo)是將朝鮮每年30億美元的出口收入減少大約10億美元。

The UN Security Council resolution bars North Korean exports of coal, iron, iron ore, lead, lead ore and seafood. It also bans nations from increasing the number of North Korean workers that they permit in their respective countries. The resolution says the move is to punish North Korea for using its economic gains to develop its weapons programs.

聯(lián)合國安理會的這次決議禁止朝鮮出口煤炭、鐵和鐵礦石、鉛和鉛礦石以及海鮮產(chǎn)品。決議還禁止各國增加他們在各自國家允許招收的朝鮮工人的數(shù)量。該決議說,這一舉措是為了懲罰朝鮮利用其經(jīng)濟(jì)收益發(fā)展武器計(jì)劃。

The U.S. ambassador to the U.N., Nikki Haley, said the resolution was the "single largest economic sanctions package ever leveled against" North Korea. And the top U.S. diplomat for Asia, Susan Thornton noted the importance of China continuing to carry out the sanctions.

美國駐聯(lián)合國大使尼基·哈利(Nikki Haley)表示,這項(xiàng)決議是有史以來針對朝鮮實(shí)施的最大一次經(jīng)濟(jì)制裁措施。美國負(fù)責(zé)亞洲事務(wù)最高外交官蘇珊·桑頓(Susan Thornton)也指出了中國繼續(xù)執(zhí)行制裁的重要性。

美國駐聯(lián)合國大使黑利說,美國正在采取審慎的防御措施,保護(hù)我們自己和我們的盟友不受朝鮮的威脅。她說朝鮮的威脅正在迅速變得更危險。

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi spoke to North Korean Foreign Minister Ri Yong Ho at the ASEAN meeting in Manila.

中國外長王毅在馬尼拉舉行的東盟會議上向朝鮮外相李勇浩傳話。

Chinese foreign minister Wang said that he advised North Korea to seek a "double suspension" plan to ease tensions on the Korean peninsula. Such a plan calls for North Korea to stop its nuclear and missile tests in exchange for a suspension of joint military exercises between the U.S. and South Korea.

王毅表示,他建議朝鮮采取“雙暫停”方案,以緩解朝鮮半島的緊張局勢。該方案要求朝鮮停止核試驗(yàn)和導(dǎo)彈試驗(yàn),以換取美韓之間停止聯(lián)合軍事演習(xí)。

However, Thornton said the U.S. is not considering ending its training exercises with South Korea.

然后,蒂勒森表示,美國不會考慮結(jié)束與韓國的訓(xùn)練演習(xí)。
