North Korea’s announcement that it possesses nuclear weapons has fuelled a diplomatic frenzy. To persuade North Korea to return to the six-party talks – with China, Japan, the US, Russia, and South Korea – on defusing the nuclear threat on the Korean peninsula, Japan, the US, and South Korea have now offered to expand the scope of the talks to allow North Korea to raise any issue that concerns it.
北朝鲜宣布自己拥有核武器的申明引起了外交恐慌。为了说服北朝鲜重返以消除朝鲜半岛上核威胁为议题的六方会谈（其他五方为中国、日本、美国、俄罗斯和南朝鲜），日本、美国和南朝鲜主动提出扩大会谈范围，允许北朝鲜自由提出自己关心的议题。这可能是个严重的错误。
