G7 calls for ‘significant U.N. response to North Korea missile launches
ROME, Nov 20 (Reuters) – The United Nations’ Security
Council needs to take “significant measures” in response to the
latest intercontinental ballistic missile launch by North Korea,
foreign ministers of the Group of Seven (G7) major
industrialised nations said on Sunday.
The Security Council is set to discuss North Korea in a
meeting on Monday at the request of the United States, following
the latest in a series of missile test launches this year.
“(North Korea’s) actions demand a united and robust response
by the international community,” the ministers of the United
States, Japan, Canada, Germany, Britain, France and Italy said.
Pyongyang tested on Friday a ballistic missile capable of
reaching the U.S. mainland shortly after warning of “fiercer
military responses” to Washington beefing up its security
presence in the region.
