UN secretary-general ‘deeply concerned’ North Korea said it could resume weapons tests 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy ReutersUNITED NATIONS/WASHINGTON (Reuters) – U.N. Secretary-General Antonio Guterres is “deeply concerned” that North Korea has indicated it could resume nuclear and missile tests, a U.N. spokesman said on Wednesday. “The Secretary-General very much hopes that the tests will not resume, in line with relevant Security Council resolutions. North Korea experts said that Kim’s remarks – made during an hours-long plenum speech – were likely directed at his party, military, and government officials in North Korea, preparing the country for another period of economic hardship as it prepares for a long stalemate with the United States. “The main points, almost certainly, were not headlines about weapons development or a possible resumption of testing,” said Robert Carlin, a North Korea expert at the Stimson Center think tank in Washington.
