At this time, the United Nations headquarters in New York, USA, is holding an open Security Council meeting to discuss North Korea's recent provocations. In the negotiating phase, the United States, which had been a step away, demanded the Security Council be called on North Korea in almost two years. I have a reporter covering the UN headquarters.

Correspondent Kim Soo-hyun, what is being discussed at the meeting?

An hour ago, the United Nations Headquarters held an open meeting with 15 members of the Security Council as well as South Korea and Japan.

The meeting was convened by the interim chairman of the United States, and the United States Ambassador to the United Nations, Kelly Crafts, stressed that North Korea would not let the provocation be free.

[Kelly Craft / U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations: There are very bad signs that North Korea is going in the wrong direction. North Korea should not be allowed to provoke.]

North Korea's provocations, particularly in European countries, endanger regional security, and say North Korea should return to talks with North America soon.

However, China and Russia talked about US preemptive measures to resume talks with North America.

It was almost two years since the last time North Korea launched the ICBM class Mars 15 was called for the Security Council call.

The atmosphere is getting very bad as North America has recently been talking badly. What is the background that led the United States into the UN Security Council?

It seems to send a warning message to North Korea, with the prospect of North Korea's provocation nearing the end of the year.

The international community is concerned about North Korea's provocations, and if provoked, the UN sanctions against North Korea will be stronger.

However, although the US convened the Security Council for North Korea, it did not hold a North Korean human rights conference that it was supposed to hold yesterday.

It is interpreted as leaving room for continued dialogue without overstimulating North Korea.

Today, the United States delegation to the United Nations, a special representative for North Korea's North Korea policy, named to the Secretary of State, had a luncheon with Ambassadors of the Security Council to discuss the need for cooperation.
