UN Chief Calls for Swift Resumption of US-North Talks

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has expressed concerns over North Korea's latest provocations and urged the swift resumption of working-level talks between the North and the U.S.
Deputy spokesperson for the secretary-general Farhan Haq said in a regular briefing on Thursday that Guterres called for the talks as agreed upon by U.S. President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un during their meeting at the inter-Korean border last month.
North Korea fired two short-range ballistic missiles into the East Sea on Thursday, in what appears to be a violation of UN Security Council resolutions that ban all ballistic missile launches by the North.
