President Warns U.S. on North Korea Policy

From Times Wire Reports

January 25, 2006

South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun warned the United States not to try to force the collapse of North Korea's totalitarian regime.

"I don't agree [with] some opinions inside the U.S. that appear to be wanting to take issue with North Korea's regime, apply pressure and sometimes wishing for its collapse," he said.

"If the U.S. government tries to resolve the problem that way, there will be friction and disagreement between South Korea and the U.S."

He added that there was no such friction yet because the opinions didn't reflect current U.S. foreign policy.
