Expert Carriere Opts for Communication with North Korea

A recent South China Morning Post article quoted Maxwell research professor and Korean affairs expert Frederick Carriere when discussing the relationship between the United States and North Korea. Many officials agree that it is time to work directly with North Korea, rather than going through China to solve the issue. Carriere says all talks should be encouraged, and it starts at the top.

“However, I imagine these two experienced diplomats would be among the first to acknowledge that their exchanges will not solve the problem unless they pave the way for serious, tough negotiations at a much higher level,” he said.
