it is my hope that the dprk will take part. enforce an can atmosphere of tolerance and understanding on the peninsula and beyond. we need to spread and deep in that spirit of hope and possibility. diplomatic engagement is the only best way to sustainable peace and denuclearization. we must do everything we can to reach the objective and avoid the level of danger that would andnpredictable catastrophic in its consequences. thank you. >> i think the secretary-general for his briefing. i shall now make a statement in my capacity as the minister of foreign affairs of japan. -- as we have all witnessed, north korea has been escalating its outrageous acts of provocation and flagrant violation of relevant security council resolutions. in the past two years, north korea has launched 40 ballistic missiles and two of those missiles flew over japan. they have also conducted three nuclear tests. the one in september, north korea reported it to be a hydrogen bomb test. the scale was larger than previous tests. in defiance of the authority o

the dprk must be held accountable for its actions. in that regard, any notion that the source of tensions on the peninsula are the fault of no one party, there is but one party that is carried out in legal detonation of nuclear devices. there has been one party that continues to launch intercontinental ballistic missiles in violation of u.n. resolutions. threatening civil aviation security because launches are undertaking with no notification. there is but one party that has punished and with that is the kid regime in north korea -- kim regime in north korea. they are responsible for these and they alone can solve these tensions. >> i think mr. tillerson for mr.state -- i thank tillerson for a statement. i shall make concluding remarks in my capacity as the minister of the foreign affairs of japan. has devoted itself to create a country respecting human rights and abiding by the ine of law and support piece the asia-pacific region. walked as aan has peaceloving nation will not change in the future and contribute to the peace and prosp

we had more than 15 hours of discussions between the dprk delegation and the u.n. delegation, which again gave us the opportunity to explain why we were so concerned, to emphasize the importance of full implementation of security council resolutions. where we agree was on the need to prevent war, but what concerned me was the reliance of the dprk hosts solely on deterrence, meaning their military programs, whereas we see the prevention of war as depending on a lot of things, including the implementation of the security council resolutions, addressing the concerns of the international community about the nuclear and missile program, and starting to open some kind of channel of communications at a technical level that can prevent, you know, any incidents from turning into, you know, an accidental war. >> jeffrey feltman, did you get a sense of what they think of the united states policy, for instance? what they think of rex tillerson saying, as he did this week, that they are open to negotiations without preconditions, and then to see the white house sort of slap tha

thingk we do the same with the dprk and there were several reasons for that. this is not everywhere for bad behavior, this is very pragmatic, one is to have an in residence of the dramatic presence in pyongyang. not an embassy, we do not have thatbassy, i have to think they might have been a chance that things might have turned out differently for auto, uva student had there been u.s. presence there too but the north koreans and demand access to them. we were not there to do that. i obviously can't make the case but i have thought about that -- it was a tragic and that happened. secondly, i can't go into detail here but how should i put it -- it should -- it would hi enhance our understanding of north korea if we were there. we need a conduit for getting information into north korea. find -- while i on the subject of north korea, the notion of demanding denuclearization as a condition for negotiation, that is crazy. ideal, i would love for the north koreans to say that we are all done with north -- nuclear weapons. they go to school on what happens in the rest
