UN Secretary-General António Guterres has called on the U.S. and North Korea to dial down rhetoric and dial up diplomacy in addressing the growing tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
Guterres, while speaking with the UN Correspondents in New York, stressed that the solution to the crisis must be political.
The UN chief reiterated that his good offices –the prestige and weight that his title and the UN represented to the world community were always available.
He noted Tuesday’s meeting of the
representatives of the Six-Party Talks, which included China, the Democratic
People’s Republic of Korea , DPRK, Japan, the Republic of Korea, the Russian
Federation, and the United States.
Guterres also noted the UN
Security Council strengthened sanctions against DPRK’s exports, which
unanimously adopted the resolution of
2017 and imposed a full ban on the export of coal, iron and iron ore from the
north-east Asian country.
