UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres on Friday warned that armed conflict in Northeast Asia "would have global ramifications."
"We must act now to prevent conflict and achieve sustainable peace," he told an open meeting of the UN Security Council on the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
Guterres condemned "in the strongest terms" the repeated violations of the relevant Security Council resolutions by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
"The absence of communication channels with the DPRK is dangerous," Guterres said. "Armed conflict in Northeast Asia, which is home to one fifth of the world's people and gross domestic product, would have global ramifications."
"We need to avoid miscalculation and misunderstanding," he said. "We need to act now to prevent conflict and achieve sustainable peace."
