UN Secretary General phone call

The Prime Minister’s Spokesman (PMS) said that the Prime Minister had spoken to the UN Secretary General this afternoon. They discussed the situation in South Korea and there was strong agreement that North Korea’s unprovoked attack was totally unacceptable. They urged restraint and agreed that next steps should include discussion at the UN Security Council. They also talked about Burma and the next steps following the release of Aung San Suu Kyi, including further UN engagement. The Secretary General also thanked the UK for the UN Security Council discussion on Sudan last week; they agreed that the UK and UN would continue to work closely together on the political process in Sudan ahead of the referendum early next year.

Asked if we would be pushing for a resolution at the UN Security Council, the PMS said that this was an unprovoked attack and a discussion needed to take place.

Asked if the call had been planned, the PMS said that this was a planned call; they spoke on a regular basis.
