Cuba Alerts World Tension over Korean N-Test

Havana, Oct 10 (Prensa Latina) Cuba has warned on high tensions within
international political and diplomatic circles in the coming next days,
when the UN will begin debating severe sanctions against the Democratic
People´s Republic of Korea (DPRK).

The international measures against the Asian country are based on its
recent nuclear test, according to the official note appearing in Granma
daily today.

That test, announced on October 3 by the DPRK Foreign Ministry, arose
almost unanimous condemnation yesterday, the note reads.

The UN Security Council censured the test in a meeting Monday morning, and
considered it a threat to international peace and security, the note added.

As announced, that UN body will meet to discuss a resolution on the issue,
based on the text that has been already circulating and that includes
economic and other sorts of sanctions against the DPRK, the daily pointed
out.

The document quoted UN Secretary General Kofi Annan as saying the action
violates international laws for disarmament, as well as the moratorium on
nuclear weapons.

China issued a note affirming "the DPRK flagrantly carried out the test
ignoring the generalized rejection of the international community," the
note says.

The official Cuban declaration refers that the Chinese government stated
"it strongly opposed the action," and "called for all parties involved
to
react calmly and keep seeking for a solution through talks."

China "will continue sparing no efforts to achieve that goal," the note
adds.
