US seeks India help to deal with North Korea

The United States has been discussing with India the issue of North Korea to broaden region-wide efforts to compel Pyongyang to abide by its denuclearisation commitments and obligations, a top Obama Administration official said today.

"The United States and India have discussed North Korea in our Strategic Dialogue and other bilateral and multilateral exchanges," the Assistant Secretary of State for East Asian and Pacific Affairs Kurt Campbell said in his testimony before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee.

"India's growing security and political relations with Japan and South Korea will also enhance prospects for security and stability in Northeast Asia," Campbell said in his testimony on N Korea, that he identified as one of the most enduring foreign policy challenges.

Campbell said in addition to the five key parties including South Korea, Japan, China and Russia, the US is working more closely with other stakeholders like the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), India, and Australia to broaden region-wide efforts to compel North Korea to abide by its denuclearisation commitments and obligations, as well as with the UN Security Council.

What about 'indirect' threat? I hope you know what I'm talking about.

Joining any alliance will only further increase "indirect threat group" getting stronger and getting focussed on a common objective and reason.

Let Americans clean the mess along with SK, Japan and Aussies. we have more important things to focus to, around neighborhood.

India should definitely get involved in NK, because South Korea and Japan even though are no our current strong allies, have common ground esp. in the direction of the future of asia.

Agreed, dealing with NK is not an option anyone would want to tick the box on.

How about supporting covert activities in NK??

just kidding..neither do we have capabilities to pull of sucha thing nor do we have any strategic value in that region..This is mess to be cleaned up by present super power "USA" and "China"..

We have better things to do...first resolve the Iran issue which i think india can influence gr8ly as we are having good relations with both Iran and USA.

Iran,Afghanistan and to greater extent Middle east, Srilanka and African related issues are some places where india can use its diplomatic,economic and military influence to resolve the issues, which will inturn help india economically and strategically.

it can't be done; if US. tries to bring more countries to the table, then the pressure will be higher. especially, it has nothing to do with Australia or India
= if U.S. is pushing for it, China will back out and let them do what ever they like. China has been irritated with crazy Kim, so the tough talk from U.S.
let them kill each other and China can save hundred of million dollars by sending cooking oil and foods to N Korea

Nope. India should not meddle itself in these kinda issues.

Let NK,SK,China,Russia,US and Japan sort it out amongst themselves. We have better work to do.

Really??

A Hint who gave missiles to our friendly neighbor to nuke us???

Also, as china is closing on us we can join a alliance for our safety or play this card against china. We need carrot and stick policy that if you bully us you will get stick and if you are friend you will get carrot.

No offence mate, but can't you just use the word China instead of adding the extra comments which only serves to stir things up. Ultimately China only deals with NK because they don't want a refugee problem, I think given a choice they would prefer to wash their hands of the messy affair because honestly NK is just one mad dog.

We should think about all that after we have become $ 5 trillion economy. Till then sit tight and be happy in the IOR.

No offence but Indian newspaper are not the most reliable source. I think it is a waste of time to go through the garbage. And if India cannot handle its own civil problems then I doubt its IT capacity would be seen as something the USA wants to solve something that the USA caused. Quite frankly, no one can clear the mess the USA created everywhere.

Let me even add that the USA is champion in creating support teams to get its targets. They had the "coalition of the willing" against Sadam. Well, it was coalition of the stupid. We all know they hardly had something else in their mind then oil. Now they probably want to counter China more in the Korean area. Bad move. And having USA as a friend... You do not want that. Look at how Holland. They left Afghanistan and were dumped out every meeting. Now after a few months they are begging to get back and return forces while at the same time they have hardly cash to pay their military. Cash. That is the reality. Not your so called importance in the world.

I don't think India has anything to do with NK..! We have our own immediate threats..!

India is keen to get a permanent seat in UN council , India seeks bigger table , India wish to be seen as potential power ,But does not wish to get involved in any kind of disputes or any alliance . OK fair, enough but for how long we can ignore and walk on the side lines .
