WASHINGTON - The White House on Tuesday condemned North Korea's
rocket launch as a "highly provocative act" in direct violation of UN
resolutions and vowed to work with international partners to seek
"appropriate action" against Pyongyang.
"The
United States remains vigilant in the face of North Korean provocations
and fully committed to the security of our allies in the region," White
House spokesman Tommy Vietor said, pledging that Washington would
increase close cooperation with its friends in the region.
"In the hours and days ahead, the United States will work with its
six-party partners, the United Nations Security Council and other U.N.
member states to pursue appropriate action," Vietor said. "The
international community must work in a concerted fashion to send North
Korea a clear message that its violations of United Nations Security
Council resolutions have consequences." — Reuters
