.
9/7 Tass 49
L'AQUILA, July 9 (Itar-Tass) - Leaders of the Group of Eight countries
condemn North Korea's nuclear test and its missile launches in violation
of the resolution of the UN Security Council, it is said in a political
statement adopted by the world leaders.
These activities pose a threat to peace and stability in the region,
the document says.
The G8 leaders call upon North Korea to fulfil its obligations, return
to the negotiations on the disablement of its nuclear programme and drop
plans to create nuclear weapons.
"We condemn in the strongest terms the DPRK's (Democratic People's
Republic of Korea- North's official name) nuclear test on 25 May and the
launch using ballistic missile technology on 5 April in violation of
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718/2006. We also strongly
condemn the most recent launches by the DPRK on 4 July, despite UNSC
Resolution 1874/2009. These activities pose a danger to peace and
stability in the region and beyond," the G8 political declaration says, in
particular.
"We urge the DPRK to fully comply with its international obligations.
In this context, we support the unanimous adoption of the Resolution
1874/2009 of the Security Council which reinforces international sanctions
towards the DPRK and call upon the international community to implement
fully and transparently the provisions of that Resolution," the document
says.
It also says, "We urge the DPRK to refrain from further violations of
relevant Security Council Resolutions and to engage in dialogue and
cooperation, including the early resumption of the Six Party Talks. In
this regard, we emphasize the importance of the full implementation of the
Joint Statement of 19 September 2005, including the abandonment of all
nuclear weapons and existing nuclear programs by DPRK. We recognise the
need for all participants to take measures as agreed in this format. We
also urge the DPRK to take prompt actions to address the concerns of the
international community on humanitarian matters, including the abduction
issue."
