NEW YORK, USA - MAY 19: A general view of Security Council meeting about ''Maintenance of international peace and security - Conflict and food security'' at United Nations HQ in New York City, United States on May 19, 2022. China and Russia vetoed a U.N.
"The world faces a clear and present danger from the DPRK," she said, using the initials of the country’s official name, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and citing its continued pursuit of weapons of mass destruction. He said it’s the U.S.’ responsibility now to resume its dialogue with Pyongyang and find a political solution to the situation on the Korean Peninsula, where the 1950-53 war between North Korea and South Korea stopped with an armistice, not a peace treaty.
"We do not want to see anyone make use of the DPRK situation or the Korean Peninsula situation as a card for their strategic or geopolitical agenda," he said. "We are completely against any attempt to make northeastern Asia a battlefield or to create confrontations or tensions there."
