Yet another very serious violation of multiple Security Council resolutions is a factor that destabilises peace and security in the region and the world over. It is also affecting the global non-proliferation regime. Tensions now are escalating, causing unforeseeable implications, not only in the Peninsula but in a much larger area,&#8221; said the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation, Angelino Alfano, to his Japanese counterpart, Taro Kono, during a telephone conversation that was dominated by the North Korean dossier. It was a first dialogue opportunity between Italy&#8217;s Minister of Foreign Affairs and Japan&#8217;s new head of diplomacy, Taro Kono, since his appointment to the post in August.&#8221;Pyongyang must immediately abandon the development of its nuclear and missile programme in a total, verifiable and irreversible fashion. It must put an end to its course towards self-isolation and stop challenging the International Community,&#8221; continued Alfano. He also pointed out that Italy, which currently holds the G7 rotating Presidency and chairs the Security Council&#8217;s DPRK Sanctions Committee, &#8220;maintains and will continue to maintain that a common and unified response can play a key role. It also encourages the Security Council to adopt new sanctions.&#8221;Alfano has confirmed to Japan&#8217;s Foreign Minister that Italy is also committed to strengthening measures within the EU as a means to put pressure on Pyongyang.The Minister of Foreign Affairs reconfirmed to his Japanese colleague &#8220;Italy&#8217;s solidarity to Japan and the other regional partners for the consequences of the irresponsible behaviour of the regime,&#8221; saying &#8220;he would be willing to work in close coordination to monitor the situation in the Peninsula.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"&#8220;Italy is following with the greatest attention the evolution of the situation in the Korean Peninsula.
