LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Gopal Sengupta, On e-mail
We strongly condemn the nuclear test carried out by North Korea on October 8. This irresponsible and dangerous act seriously undermines both regional peace and stability, and global efforts to halt the spread of nuclear weapons. All peace-loving countries will continue to work with the United Nations Security Council to address the risks to Northeast Asia and beyond caused by the North Korean nuclear test.

We urge North Korea not to proceed with a nuclear test, but rather to return to the six-party talks.

We believe that North Korea's security, economic and political goals will not be served through this latest provocation, but are best achieved through the framework of the existing six-party talks to address the North Korean nuclear crisis.
