美国高级外交官在韩国商讨对击沉韩国军舰的北韩进行惩罚的最新努力。

美国国务院助理国务卿库特.坎贝尔星期四在韩国首都首尔会见了韩国外长柳明桓和其他韩国官员,协调联合国安理会就3月26日天安号沉船,造成26名水手死亡的事件对北韩作出的公开谴责。

一个国际调查小组得出结论,北韩潜艇发射的鱼雷导致天安舰沉没。

坎贝尔告诉记者,在这一“关键”时期,美国决心展示它跟韩国坚定不移的盟友关系。坎贝尔还说,双方准备在双边基础上展开行动,包括“合适和负责任的”联合军事行动。

A senior U.S. diplomat is in South Korea to discuss the latest efforts to punish North Korea for the deadly sinking of a South Korean warship.

Assistant Secretary of State Kurt Campbell met with Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan and other officials in Seoul Thursday to coordinate efforts to have Pyongyang censured by the U.N. Security Council for the March 26th sinking of the Cheonan that killed 46 sailors.

An international team of investigators concluded a North Korean submarine torpedoed the ship.

Campbell told reporters the U.S. is determined to show its alliance with South Korea "is very firmly together" during a "critical" period. He said both sides are prepared to take action on a bilateral basis, including "appropriate and responsible" joint military activities.
