We express our strong concern over the July 4-5 missile launches and Oct. 9 nuclear test conducted by the DPRK [North Korea], which poses a clear threat to our shared interest of peace and security and our shared goal of achieving a nuclear weapons-free Korean peninsula.
We stress the need for full implementation of Security Council resolutions 1695 and 1718. We emphasize our strong support for the six-party talks and are encouraged by the recent progress on resuming the talks.
We call for concrete and effective steps toward full implementation of the Sept. 19, 2005, joint statement and the early resumption of the six-party talks.
