11 April 2009 - Security Council - following a P5+1 meeting on North Korea - Stakeout by Mr. Jean-Maurice Ripert, Permanent Representative of France to the United Nations

(Translated from the French)

We made progress this morning, we agreed on a draft text which we will present to our partners in the Security Council. It is a text which sends out, as we intended, a clear message to North Korea expressing our disagreement with what happened. We will meet this afternoon with the other members of the Council, and we hope to be able to reach an agreement soon./.
