A member of the Foreign Affairs Committee in the European Parliament believes the EU’s involvement in six-way talks on North Korea’s nuclear program is crucial in ensuring a more diversified approach. On the U.S.-based Nautilus Institute's website, British representative Glyn Ford posted an essay claiming that all participating countries to the six-way talks with the exception of the U.S. have indicated interest in or willingness to accept the EU's involvement in the nuclear negotiations. Ford states that Europe qualifies for the nuclear talks as it has contributed half a billion euros in humanitarian aid and development assistance to North Korea for several years.

Founded in 1992, the Nautilus Institute has evolved into a thriving public policy think-tank.
