Mr. Ito
The Council has just taken a very significant decision on the question of peace and security on the Korean peninsula and North-East Asia. Japan welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 1695 (2006).
With the adoption of the resolution, the Council has acted swiftly and robustly in response to the reckless and condemnable act of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea in launching a barrage…
Mr. Bolton
Eleven days have passed since the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea brazenly defied the international community and fired seven ballistic missiles, including a Taepo Dong 2 intercontinental ballistic missile, into the waters surrounding its neighbours, notably Japan. Despite intense diplomatic efforts by a number of countries prior to those launches, North Korea chose to recklessly disregard …
Mr. Wang Guangya
The Chinese delegation welcomes the draft resolution on the launching of missiles by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, unanimously adopted by the Security Council earlier.
On 5 July 2006 local time, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea launched a number of missiles without adequate advance notification, which caused extensive concern in the international community. Many countries h…
Mr. Churkin
From the very outset, the Russian Federation has stressed the importance of a speedy agreement by the Security Council in its response to the missile launches by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. Moscow expressed serious concern about those actions by Pyongyang, taken without advance notice and in contravention of the Pyongyang moratorium established earlier.
We have consistently believ…
Mr. Mayoral
I shall be brief.
Argentina would like to express its satisfaction at the Security Council’s adoption of resolution 1695 (2006), which condemns the launching of missiles by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on 5 July. We believe that the message that the Security Council has sent today to the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea is a strong one. Argentina hopes that the Democratic Peopl…
Mr. Manongi
The United Republic of Tanzania voted in favour of the resolution we have just adopted, bearing in mind the gravity of the circumstances arising from the missiles launched by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. It is therefore our hope that the message being sent by the resolution will be one that engenders a spirit of dialogue and cooperation in order to allow for an environment of peace …
The President
I shall now make a statement in my capacity as the representative of France.
France welcomes the fact that the Security Council has unanimously adopted resolution 1695 (2006). That action by the Security Council is an appropriate response to a serious situation. The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s development and testing of ballistic missiles capable of carrying weapons of mass destructi…
Mr. Pak Gil Yon
I would like to congratulate you, Sir, on your assumption of the presidency of the Security Council for the month of July.
It is unjustifiable and gangster-like for the Security Council to debate the missile launch exercise of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, both in view of the competence of the Security Council and under international law. The delegation of the Democratic People’s Re…
The President
I now give the floor to the representative of the Republic of Korea.
Mr. Choi Young-jin
On 5 July, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea fired one Taepodong-2 and six Scud and Nodong missiles from its eastern coast.
Since early May, my Government has been closely following the activities of North Korea with regard to its missiles. Pointing out the inevitable consequences to follow, my Government repeatedly warned the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea not to conduct any miss…
The President
The representative of the United States has asked for the floor to make a further statement. I give him the floor.
Mr. Bolton
This has been a historic day. Not only have we unanimously adopted resolution 1695 (2006) but North Korea has set a world record in rejecting it within 45 minutes of its adoption.
I could also say in the light of some of the comments made by the representative of North Korea before he left the Chamber, that I could exercise the right of reply on behalf of the United States; but on the other hand…
The President
There are no further speakers inscribed on my list. The Security Council has thus concluded the present stage of its consideration of the item on its agenda.
