Iran, DPRK, urged to respond world concerns for proper nuclear issue solutions

Five nuclear powers Wednesday called on Iran "to respond to the concerns of the international community" and urged the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) "to fulfill the commitments under the Six- Party Talks," saying "we remain determined to achieve the satisfactory resolution of these dossiers through diplomatic means. "

Britain, China, France, Russia and the United States, the five recognized nuclear countries under the NPT, issued a joint statement to air their viewpoints on nuclear weapons on the sidelines of the current NPT Review Conference, which entered the third day here Wednesday.

"The proliferation risks presented by the Iranian nuclear program remain of serious concern to us," the statement said. "We underscore the importance of Iran's full and immediate compliance with its international obligations."

"We urge Iran to respond to the concerns of the international community by complying promptly and fully with the relevant United Nations Security Council Resolutions and with the requirements of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA)," it said.
