The U.S. Ambassador to the UN starts her third day of her visit to South Korea today, which will include talks with Seoul's foreign and unification ministry chiefs.
For Samantha Power's message regarding Pyongyang's continual threats so far, Kwon Soa reports.
Meeting with reporters Sunday,... the U.S. Ambassador to the UN, Samantha Power... said Washington is willing to use all possible means to put pressure on North Korea.
The comments came during her four-day trip to South Korea,... a rare occasion for an serving American UN envoy.
The visit itself is expected to send a strong message to the North Korean regime... and its continuous provocations in the form of nuclear and missile tests.
"While the Security Council resolutions are one tool in our toolbox and a very important instrument of pressure, we are committed to using all the tools in our tool kit to address this serious threat, including the diplomatic pressure that we are mobilizing around the world to convince other nations to isolate the regime."
Power said she wanted to directly consult with Washington's allies... and vowed that the U.S. is determined to stand by South Korea's side in addressing the serious threat.
Before arriving in South Korea Saturday,... she also made a trip to Japan.
Earlier on Sunday,... the ambassador visited the truce village of Panmunjom on the inter-Korean border as well as the Hanawon Settlement Support Center for North Korean refugees. She also held talks with South Korea's Prime Minister Hwang Kyo-ahn.
Hwang delivered a message to Power from President Park Geun-hye... asking for continuous efforts on the UN level to deal with the regime's threats.
Power is expected to hold further meetings on Monday with high-ranking officials such as South Korea's Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se and Unification Minister Hong Yong-pyo... before departing for the U.S. on Tuesday.
