Mr. President,

Just over a couple of weeks ago, North Korea launched its most advanced ballistic missile with intercontinental range. North Korea claimed afterwards to have achieved “the completion of its state nuclear force”. Amidst diverging assessments, what is certain is that North Korea is indeed in the final stages of nuclear weaponization.

If completed, it will fundamentally alter the security landscape in the region and beyond. Many commentators point out that it will aggravate tension in the already heavily-militarized region and even worry about the risk of nuclear proliferation to rogue states and non-state actors.

North Korea also threatens to shatter the foundations of international non-proliferation regimes and continues to inflict lasting harm on its own people. The international community, now more so than ever, must grasp the gravity and urgency of the North Korean threat and find ways to halt its nuclear program and bring it back to the path of denuclearization.

Mr. President,

What matters more now is not a mere assessment of the North Korean threat, but rather our united will and firm action against this regime.

North Korea is fiercely waging a “battle of wills” against the international community. It wants to be recognized as a nuclear-weapons state on its own terms and conditions. Our answer should be “absolutely no.” We should not be coerced by North Korea’s continuing provocations, but rather uphold our principles while firmly responding to its reckless behaviors.

At the same time, we should not be provoked into conflict nor should we shut the doors of dialogue and peace. Our common goal is the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of North Korea in a peaceful manner.

North Korea is also waging a “battle of actions” against the international community. Time and again, North Korea has found and taken advantage of the loopholes in the Council resolutions. North Korea has preyed on the weak links of the international community.

The sanctions are not an end in themselves and are not meant to bring down North Korea, but to bring it to the negotiation table for denuclearization. However, if we are to bring the unwilling North Korea back to the table, we must fill in all gaps identified in the implementation of the resolutions. 

The international community has made some progress, including the restriction on oil supply, the export ban on North Korea’s key products, and the prohibition of overseas work authorization. Many countries, even those with long-standing relationship with North Korea, have joined these efforts including through the expulsion of individuals on the sanctions list. However, in our race against North Korea, we need to do more – way more. North Korea’s evasive tactics are becoming more sophisticated and this regime continues to exploit all weak links. In fact, the Republic of Korea has been actively cooperating with its partners to identify and stop North Korea’s attempts to evade sanctions and seek alternative routes to sell coals and other banned products and to illegally import oil.

Let me emphasize that none of us should become that weak link, and that none of us should condone groups and individuals who assist North Korea’s defiance against this Council.
