During his weekend trip, Powell intends to consult with Japan, China and South Korea on how to assure the North that Washington is not interested in attacking the country. He will also attempt to revive stalled six-nation talks seeking to halt North Korea's nuclear weapons program.
Pyongyang insists it needs a "nuclear deterrent" against a U.S. invasion.<snip>
