The United Nations has expressed the hope that North Korea’s decision to suspend its nuclear and ballistic missiles tests would contribute to building trust and support dialogue.
The Undersecretary-General of the world body Izumi Nakamitsu speaking at a conference in Geneva, however, warned that “the threat of the use, intentional or otherwise, of nuclear weapons is growing.”
Meanwhile, South Korea today silenced its battery of giant loudspeakers that blast messages at the North’s border soldiers, in a conciliatory gesture before Friday’s historic inter-Korean summit. APP/AFP
