secretary of state anthony blinken says all diplomatic and pressure options are on the table for the noles lincoln made those comments after meeting with his counterparts in south korea he also reaffirmed the commitment to pressing pyongyang into new kid disarmament the north had said it wouldn't speak to the u.s. until it stops its hostile policies china has also been a key focus on the secretary of state's best foreign trip. we also discussed prime we are clear eyed about beijing's consistent failure for its commitments and we spoke about her vision is aggressive and before tearing behavior are challenging the stability security prosperity in the pacific region beijing's actions make forging a common approach among our allies all the more important at a time when we're seeing a rollback of democracy and human rights around the world including in burma where the military is attempting to overturn the results of a democratic election i do believe you're pressing peaceful protesters it is more important than ever that we are we stand together for the values for the interests that unite us. by it is joining us now from seoul he is following that trip for us clearly a lot to discuss on this trip but i really emphasis on trilateral cooperation in the region despite the ongoing differences. that's right and we heard that from this joint session between the 2 u.s. secretaries and their south korean counterparts they produced a pretty wide ranging statement the end of it as expected it reconfirms the commitments to this alliance between south korea and the united states alliance which is the statement said it was forged in blood on the battlefield 70 years ago during the years of the korean war there was also emphasis on north korea as we expected both the united states and south korea committing themselves to the denuclearization of north korea but without going into too much details differences do remain between south korea and the u.s. on how exactly that could or should ever be achieved their words emphasis on also on restoring the relations with these 2 traditional allies in northeast asia both south korea and japan all of this mission has been about resetting the very important relationships also doing some repair work on the relationship between south korea and japan itself which has become quite frayed in recent times when it comes to china there was no actual reference to china by name in the statement that causes problems here in south korea because we are from seoul has a much closer relationship with beijing but there were references about the need to respect international law about the need to keep an open and free indo-pacific this is a veiled reference of course to their claims that china is making aggressive territorial demands in the south china and east china seas but certainly in the press conference that followed blinken secretary blinken did not hold back once more in condemnation of what the u.s. sees as coercive and aggressive behavior from china itself and rather as we've been saying as are despite the fact that the u.s. policy on north korea is still under review young man has also been pretty vocal during this trip. there have been some stern words once more from north korea and in fact from their 1st vice foreign minister chase and he who has direct responsibility for dealing with matters pertaining to the u.s. saying there could be no dialogue with the u.s. unless the united states stops what she calls its hostile attitude towards north korea so this confirms for the 1st time officially that as the state department has said they've reached out on several occasions over the past few weeks trying to open up avenues of communication start dialogue yes north korea got those requests and it seems simply ignored them it certainly isn't ignoring what policy now transpires the way that the by the ministration now deals with north korea with saying that some somewhat ominously they will be tracking all of the ill deeds of the new biden administration saying they will meet force with force or goodwill with goodwill really placing the emphasis now on the united states to take the next step in their relationship there for us in seoul with all the latest thanks so much right now activists in indonesia say rising religious intolerance is having an effect on
