BEIJING, Jan. 26 (Xinhuanet) -- The US special representative of DPRK policy, Glyn Davies is making a tour of the three countries involved in the Six Party-Talks. After visiting South Korea, he’s arrived in Beijing to continue talks on regional security following the UN Security Council resolution condemning of the DPRK’s latest rocket launch.

It all started here. The launching of a long-range rocket marked the DPRK’s second bid in a single year to put a satellite into orbit. Pyongyang says it’s for peaceful scientific purposes. But the UN Security Council is not convinced. The 15 members in the council voted for a resolution, tightening sanctions against the DPRK. And the tensions on the Korean Peninsular could be something that US Envoy Glyn Davies needs to look into during his visit.

Glyn Davies said, “I think the problem we are facing now is the provocative language that North Korea has used.”

Regardless of what’s been concluded in the UN resolution, the DPRK nuclear issue is going in circles. In response, the DPRK is planning another nuclear test, just as it did in 2006 and 2009. It’s also refused to resume the Six Party-Talks. Glyn Davies urged Pyongyang not to go ahead with a third nuclear test. He warned that the US will push for more sanctions if Pyongyang contiues down such a path.

Glyn Davies said, “To make it clear, DPRK do have a choice, a choice that is between isolation and live with the consequences.”

While Obama was sworn into his 2nd term of presidency, Japan and South Korea elected their new leaders. This could be an opportunity for the DPRK and it’s new leader Kim JONG UN to make friends with his neighbors. Or will he do just the opposite?

The visit by US Envoy Glyn Davies is a following up call on countries neighbouring the DPRK. And China has been clear and consistent that all the parties should resolve disputes through dialogue and consultation in a comprehensive way, and not to take any steps that may destabilize regional security.
