U.S. Envoy Urges North Korea to Drop Nuke Program

Reclusive regime planning another nuclear test

A U.S. envoy said Monday that North Korea is playing a dangerous game with the international community by threatening a nuclear test and urged the communist nation to scrap its plan.

Glyn Davies, U.S. Special Representative for North Korea Policy, urged Pyongyang to return to its international obligations in abandoning its nuclear programs.

"We find North Korea that seems bent on playing a game of risk. This is very dangerous," he told reporters after meeting with his Japanese counterpart, Shinsuke Sugiyama, in Tokyo to discuss the anticipated nuclear test.
