Assistant Secretary Kurt Campbell and Deputy Assistant Secretary Scott Marciel are scheduled to travel to Burma Nov. 3 and 4
The president is very much looking forward to his visit to Japan next week ... I think we are extraordinarily pleased with the preparations
We stated clearly that the United States is prepared to take steps to improve the relationship but that process must be based on reciprocal and concrete efforts by the Burmese government
We have made clear to our Japanese friends … that we are grateful for Japan's desire to make sure that we are closely co-ordinated or included in any important new multilateral institutional initiatives
I think that the most important national-security challenge that we may face over the course of the next 20 to 30 years may turn out to be climate change ... I don't think that there is enough of a recognition that climate change is not just a humanitarian issue, it's not simply an issue associated with...

We expect engagement with Burma to be a long, slow, painful and step-by-step process.
We intend to go to Burma in the coming weeks for a fact-finding mission
Our dialogue with Burma will supplement rather than replace the sanction regimes that have been at the centre of our Burma policy for many years
I asked specifically for Chinese assistance particularly in terms of establishing a dialogue with internal parties in advance of the 2010 elections, and I asked for China's overall support for the US policy of engagement
We heard that Premier Wen believed Kim Jong-Il was in pretty good health. He managed the interactions, was engaged very actively
I think our Chinese friends conveyed that and also said that, frankly, moving forward, North Korea should also entertain similar bilateral interactions with the Japanese and South Koreans
The Chinese were very clear with the North Koreans ... They conveyed that we would be prepared for an initial interaction between the United States and North Korea that would lead rapidly to a six-party resumption of talks.
I have rarely seen better coordination between China and the United States, in particular ... We work very closely before, during and after senior visits. So, when [Chinese envoy] Wu Dawei or Premier Wen goes to North Korea, our coordination is tight and close.
I have rarely seen better coordination between China and the United States in particular
The United States will not entertain direct negotiations between the United States and North Korea absent a six-party commitment
Diplomacy with North Korea is very challenging and sometimes it's difficult to know exactly what's going to transpire in terms of your interactions with Pyongyang
We are going to need to see more cooperation and coordination between the United States and China
I think you will see in the coming months a desire for the United States and New Zealand to work more closely together in a variety of ways
The truth is this isolation (because of being nuclear-free) has not been good for New Zealand, overall it's been self-imposed. Over the years there have been a number of areas where New Zealand has taken a very pragmatic, very positive role, very active role and we think that has to be recognised

We need to step up our dialogue not only with our partners in Southeast Asia but other countries who are deeply involved, both economically and politically, inside the country
There were certainly no breakthroughs, but a very clear determination that dialogue was possible on the side of (Myanmar)
We have seen some steps between North Korea and Burma that concern us, both the provision of small arms and other military equipment, and there are some signs that that cooperation has extended into areas that would be prohibited
