Storyline


The UN Security Council held a special meeting on Friday to discuss the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) nuclear issue.

Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and foreign ministers or vice foreign ministers of Britain, Russia, Senegal and Japan, attended the meeting.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres briefed the ministerial meeting, which is chaired by U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council this month.

"We need to avoid miscalculation and misunderstanding. We need to act now to prevent conflicts and achieve sustainable peace," said Guterres.

The UN chief said the tension of the Korean Peninsula is alarming and urged the DPRK not to conduct missile tests any more. He also called for the international community to work together to reopen dialogue to avoid risks of misjudgment.

Tillerson said the United States and China have made efforts on the issue and called for further actions.

"The United States and China have held very productive exchanges on this issue and we look forward to further actions that build on what China has already done," said Tillerson.

The U.S. presidency received a request from the Republic of Korea (ROK) to participate in and its foreign minister Yun Byung-se will speak after the 15 council members, saying that South Korea will take measures to bring the DPRK back to negotiating table.

"In order to change such strategic calculus of Pyongyang and induce changes from within, we could take potent measures such as halting the export and supply of crude oil to North Korea, completely cutting off North Korea's hard currency earnings by, for instance, suspending all imports of coal from North Korea and seriously considering whether North Korea is serial offender, is qualified as a member of the United Nations, as well as downgrading diplomatic relations with North Korea. Let me be clear: our goal is not to bring North Korea to its knees, but to bring it back to the negotiating table for denuclearization," said the foreign minister.

Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Gennady Gatilov stressed that use of military force is unacceptable to solve the DPRK nuclear issue.

"Use of military force is absolutely unacceptable as it will bring disastrous consequence to the Korean Peninsula and northeast Asia. We should resort to diplomatic means to ease the current situation as much as possible. All the relevant parties should keep calm, exercise restraint and avoid conducting any move that may escalate the tension," said Gatilov.
