BAN 'DEEPLY CONCERNED' AT RISING TENSION ON KOREAN PENINSULA
New York, Apr 4 2013 6:00PM
Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon said today he is "deeply concerned and
troubled" by the rising tension on the Korean Peninsula, and called on
all parties concerned to help calm the situation.

Speaking at a <"http://www.un.org/sg/offthecuff/index.asp?nid=2768">joint
press conference in Monaco with the Principality's Minister of State
and Chief of Government, Michel Roger, Mr. Ban cited the "very
negative inflammatory rhetoric" coming from the Democratic People's
Republic of Korea (DPRK) as the main cause of the increasing tension.

"I have been urging repeatedly that nuclear threat is not a game and
they should fully abide by the relevant Security Council resolutions,"
he stated.

In February, the DPRK conducted its third, long threatened nuclear
test, a move that was in violation of Security Council sanctions and
drew widespread condemnation, including from Mr. Ban.

The Secretary-General also voiced the hope today that the recent
measure to restrict the movement of personnel and goods in and out of
the Kaesong industrial complex in the DPRK will be lifted as soon as
possible.

DPRK has reportedly stopped nationals from the Republic of Korea from
working at the Kaesong complex, one of the last remaining symbols of
cooperation between the two countries. The complex is staffed mainly
by DPRK nationals but funded and managed by firms from the Republic of
Korea, according to media reports.

On Tuesday, Mr. Ban stressed the current crisis on the Korean
peninsula "has already gone too far," following DPRK's announcement
that it will restart its Yongbyon nuclear reactor. He called for
dialogue and negotiations, underlining that this is "the only way to
resolve the crisis," and expressed his readiness to help all the
parties involved to this end.

After wrapping up his visit to Monaco, the Secretary-General arrived
in Madrid, Spain, where he met Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy and
attended a high-level UN meeting on hunger, food security and
nutrition, among other events.
