U.N. chief, Nakasone agree N. Korea nuke arms possession unacceptable

TOKYO, June 30 Kyodo -
Visiting U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki Moon and Japanese Foreign Minister
Hirofumi Nakasone agreed Tuesday that North Korea's possession of nuclear arms
is unacceptable and it is necessary for U.N. member states to implement the
U.N. Security Council resolution to punish North Korea for its May nuclear
test, Nakasone said.
Referring to his planned visit to Myanmar following his stay in Japan, Ban said
at a joint press conference after the talks with Nakasone that he will convey
''strongly'' to the country's authorities the concerns of the international
community over detained pro-democracy leader Aung San Suu Kyi.
Ban also discussed with Nakasone climate change issues and U.N. Security
Council reform.
Ban arrived in Japan earlier in the day for a three-day visit, during which he
is also expected to meet with Prime Minister Taro Aso. The visit is Ban's third
to Japan since he became chief of the world body in 2007.
The United Nations announced Monday that Ban, after leaving Japan, will visit
Myanmar on Friday and Saturday, where Suu Kyi is detained and on trial on
charges of violating the terms of her house arrest after an uninvited American
swam to and stayed in her house.
On Wednesday, the former South Korean foreign minister plans to meet with Aso
and main opposition Democratic Party of Japan leader Yukio Hatoyama. He will
also meet with Japanese business leaders as well as university students on
Wednesday.
