G8 Condemns North Korea Over Nuclear Test, Rocket launchTRIESTE (AFP)--Group of Eight leading nations' foreign ministers Friday strongly condemned North Korea for its nuclear test and long-range rocket launch, saying in a draft statement that the actions threatened regional peace. G8 member Japan had pushed for strong wording condemning North Korea for the nuclear test in May and the rocket-firing in April that led to a U.N. Security Council decision to impose sanctions. "We condemn in the strongest terms the nuclear test conducted on May 25 in violation of U.N. Security Council resolution 1718 and the rocket launch of April 5 which constitute a threat to regional peace and stability," said the draft statement obtained by AFP. North Korea reacted defiantly to a U.N. Security Council decision June 12 to impose new sanctions, which tighten a ban on arms shipments among other measures.
