Asia
As president, John Kerry will reclaim and strengthen America's role as a global leader. The Kerry-Edwards national security strategy will deploy every weapon in our national arsenal, from military strength to our diplomacy, our intelligence capabilities, our economic might, and the power of our values and example. Across the globe, John Kerry and John Edwards will pursue policies based on a vision of an America truly stronger and truly respected in the world.

Asia poses great challenges and great opportunities for the United States. On all fronts, from trade, to human rights to stopping the spread of dangerous weapons, John Kerry and John Edwards believe that America should work with Asian nations toward common goals. John Kerry and John Edwards will engage with China effectively to secure Chinese adherence to international trade, nonproliferation and human rights standards. A Kerry presidency will be committed to a "One China" policy, and will continue to support a peaceful resolution of cross-Straits issues. We support Taiwan's vibrant democracy and robust economy and will maintain America's commitment to provide Taiwan defensive weapons. John Kerry and John Edwards will strengthen America's already strong relationship with Japan and will actively seek to enhance relations with our historic ally South Korea in order to advance our collaborative efforts on economic and security issues. John Kerry and John Edwards will continue to work together with these countries to bring about the complete, irreversible and verifiable end to North Korea's nuclear weapons program. Finally, John Kerry and John Edwards will work with our friends, India and Pakistan, in their efforts to resolve longstanding differences.


North Korea
The Bush administration has been fixated on Iraq while the nuclear dangers from North Korea have multiplied. On this administration's watch, North Korea has allegedly made enough new material to make six to nine nuclear bombs. We know that North Korea has sold ballistic missiles and technology in the past. According to recent reports, North Korean uranium ended up in Libyan hands. The North Koreans have made it clear to the world - and to the terrorists - that they are open for business and will sell to the highest bidder. John Kerry and John Edwards believe that the United States must be prepared to negotiate a comprehensive agreement that addresses the full range of issues of concern to us and our allies. As president, John Kerry will have no illusions about Kim Jong Il. Any agreement must have rigorous verification and lead to complete and irreversible elimination of North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
