Talks Scheduled Friday In Washington, DC
The electronic eyes of US spy
satellites are trained on a launch pad in North Korea, as the
communist regime defies United Nations resolutions by positioning a
Taepodong-2 missle on a launch pad on the nation's east coast.
US intelligence sources revealed earlier this month spy
satellite photosshowed
North Korea was preparing another test of the
long-range missile. The belligerent state asserts
the impending launch aims to put a communications satellite into
orbit; Western diplomats say whatever it is, its launch will risk
sanctions.
Reuters reports three of the six nations engaged in long-term
talks on North Korea will meet in Washington, DC on Friday. The US
will be represented by Sung Kim, its new negotiator on the panel.
Japan's Akitaka Saiki will be there, as will Wi Sung-Lak of South
Korea.
US State Department spokesman Gordon Duguid offered no agenda
details, but commented, "A launch of any type of vehicle we would
consider to be in violation of the UN Security Council resolutions.
This provocative type of action would ... not go unnoticed."
North Korea said Thursday if the international community imposes
sanctions, it will restart a nuclear plant which makes weapons
grade plutonium. An inability to verify that plant was ever shut
down has much to do with the current tense atmosphere.
China and Russia have chosen not to send envoys to today's
meeting in Washington, but are urging caution. China encourages all
parties to, "remain restrained and calm."
