The Security Council discusses the issue of North Korea's ICBM launch and the dispatch of North Korean troops.

The U.N. Security Council held an official meeting to discuss North Korea's launch of a new ICBM, or intercontinental ballistic missile, Hwasong-19, and the North Korean military's dispatch to Russia.

Representatives from related countries, including Ambassador to the United Nations Hwang Joon-guk and North Korean Ambassador to the United Nations Kim Sung, discussed North Korea's ICBM launch at the U.N. headquarters in New York on the agenda of "non-proliferation and North Korea."

Khaled Kiari, deputy secretary general of the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific, expressed regret, saying that North Korea's ICBM launch threatens peace and security on the Korean Peninsula.

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Robert Wood strongly criticized North Korea's continued missile launches for clearly violating relevant Security Council resolutions, and Russia and China are protecting North Korea.

At the meeting, the issue of strengthening military cooperation between North Korea and Russia, including the dispatch of North Korean troops to Russia, was also discussed heavily.
