U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry is heading to Asia for a three-nation visit where he will pressure China to restrain its maritime claims and do more to rein in North Korea’s nuclear ambitions.
Kerry will arrive today in South Korea, before moving onto China and Indonesia. He travels to the region at a time when tensions are rising between Japan and China over a territorial dispute in the East China Sea and North Korea continues to defy international calls to halt its nuclear weapons development.
