The UN Security Council has urged rival South and North Korea to refrain from any act that could escalate tension in the wake of the sinking of a South Korean warship which Seoul blames on the North.
After hearing separate briefings on the incident by representatives of the two sides, the 15-member body made a “strong call to the parties to refrain from any act that could escalate tension in the region” and to preserve peace and stability on the Korean peninsula, according to its president.
Mexican Ambassador Claude Heller told reporters after the twin briefings that the council “is gravely concerned” about the incident and “its impact on peace and stability on the Korean peninsula.”
As the interim government in Kyrgyzstan sought external assistance in quelling the ethnic violence in various parts of the country, the United States said it wont take “any unilateral steps” in response to the situation.
A large number of foreign nationals including Indians, mostly students, are trapped in the violence that has erupted in the country last week.
“I don’t think we are looking at any unilateral steps by the United States at this point,” the State Department spokesman P J Crowley said.
The Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, spoke over phone with the Kazakh foreign minister on situation in the Kyrgyz Republic, he said.
“I think we will listen to what the Kyrgyz Government might ask, but I think right now we are focused on how we can respond effectively within the region internationally,” he said.
