The United States reaffirmed that “North Korea is a serious threat to peace and security around the world,” and that it is a top priority to deter North Korea’s provocation and protect its alliance. The US administration’s policy to control North Korea’s nuclear development, which utilized the alliance, was also repeated.
U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas Greenfield said at a press conference on the 1st (local time) of the March inauguration of the UN Security Council’s inauguration of the circuit chairman’s office, when asked,’What is the role of the United States’ ) “It is a problem that is closely connected with many security council member states such as China, which are bordered by China,” he said. “We believe that North Korea poses a serious threat to our peace and security and to the world.”
“We are interested in defending against North Korean provocations and use of force,” said Ambassador Thomas Greenfield. “It is most important to keep the American people and allies safe.” “President Biden made it clear that he would go out on principle diplomacy with his allies and partners, and that he would continue to press for denuclearization of North Korea.” He added that he is reviewing North Korea policy using all available information.
This is not the first time that the US authorities have expressed their emphasis on the alliance while debating the North Korean issue. Earlier, on the 23rd of last month, State Department spokesman Ned Price said, “The progress of North Korea’s nuclear and missile programs is an urgent priority for resolution of the United States.” He explained the necessity of strengthening the alliance, referring to “a coordinated diplomatic approach, a coordinated approach to the implementation of sanctions, a coordinated message”. White House spokesman Jen Saki also declared at a briefing on January 22 that “we will work closely with regional allies to deter North Korea.”
Observations continue to be raised that North Korea is continuing its nuclear activities as feared by the United States. International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) Secretary General Rafael Grossey said at the IAEA’s regular board meeting held on the 1st, “There are signs that North Korea has engaged in internal activities of an experimental light water reactor, such as testing cooling water facilities at the end of last year.” “It is judged that nuclear-related activities are continuing at the nuclear facilities of the steel wire,” said Mr. Grossey.
