SUBJECT: NATO SECRETARY GENERAL STATEMENT ON NORTH KOREA

On April 5, the NATO Secretary General released the following
statement on North Korea:

BEGIN TEXT:

I condemn the launch by North Korea of a multistage rocket.
This launch is highly provocative, and in violation of UN
Security Council Resolution 1718 barring North Korea from
developing ballistic missile capability or launching
ballistic missiles. This launch will only deepen concern
about North Korea in the region and beyond, and complicate
6-Party talks.

I call on North Korea to cease such provocative actions and
to respect immediately a moratorium on all long-range missile
launches.
