Preventive Defense Project (PDP) Codirectors Ashton Carter and William Perry led a U.S. delegation to the Republic of Korea (ROK) in February to meet with prominent South Korean politicians, experts, potential South Korean presidential candidates, and with the U.S. ambassador and U.S. Forces commander. American delegates noted that the U.S.-ROK alliance-and the U.S. troop presence that goes with it-is crucial for preserving peace and stability in East Asia and emphasized that U.S. commitment to the ROK will not wane.
Participants welcomed agreement in the Six-Party Talks, and U.S. delegates stressed the importance of economic and political strategies to address security concerns of all involved. PDP participants noted that both carrots and sticks will likely be necessary to achieve complete denuclearization of the peninsula.
