Following North Korea’s offer to resume disarmament negotiations, Civilitas Foundation honorary board member Stephen W. Bosworth returned to Asia in early January 2011 as the Obama Administration’s special envoy to North Korea. Bosworth consulted with South Korea, China and Japan about resuming the six-party talks, which would also include Russia and the US.
The talks have been on hold for nearly two years, and the result of the meetings is still unclear. Many have expressed agreement that North Korea will have to prove its credibility and show that disarmament talks would be meaningful and fruitful.
At the end of the trip, Bosworth stated that the parties “are talking about and moving forward in our attempt to address the questions of the Korean Peninsula.” On January 14, Bosworth plans to meet with US Defense Secretary Robert Gates and the Defense Minister of South Korea to continue discussing diplomatic issues.

With the support of Norwegian and German governments, a few months ago the Civilitas Foundation began to conduct polls throughout Armenia. The results of the polls will be made available to the media and will serve as the topic of public discussions.
