U.S. Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell says South Korea and the U.S. have agreed that they will have to coordinate opinions on a possible inter-Korean summit and the six-party talks.

After meeting with Unification Minister Hyun In-taek in Seoul on Thursday, Campbell said the U.S. position is to support South Korea’s foreign policy framework.

Campbell also met with Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan and South Korea’s chief negotiator to the six-way nuclear talks Wi Sung-lac to analyze current moves by the North and to exchange opinions on how to facilitate a resumption of the six-party talks.

Earlier on Wednesday, Campbell told South Korean journalists that the main goal is resuming the six-party denuclearization framework, leading some to speculate that Washington might not be in favor of an inter-Korean summit prior to the North’s return to the multilateral dialogue.

Campbell left for Washington on Thursday.
