UN Diplomats Urge Resumption of US, North Korea Talks

Margaret Besheer

   UNITED NATIONS - The U.N. Security Council met behind closed doors
   Tuesday to discuss North Korea's Oct.2 ballistic missile launch.

   "The council decided to remain united on the issue and encourage DPRK
   and the U.S. to go back to Stockholm, to Sweden, for the discussions on
   this matter," South African Ambassador Jerry Matjila said. DPRK is the
   acronym for North Korea's official name.

   Council diplomats were briefed by U.N. Assistant Secretary-General for
   Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, Khaled Khiari, on the missile, which
   was launched from a submarine.
