Ambassador Wood Addresses the CD on North Korea

"North Korea’s ballistic missile and nuclear weapons programs pose grave threats to the entire world,” said Ambassador Robert Wood, U.S. Permanent Representative to the Conference on Disarmament (CD). The North’s “reckless behavior” is “destabilizing the region and beyond,” said Wood, addressing the 65-member CD, the only arms control body where the U.S. and North Korea sit face to face. “My President’s top priority remains protecting the homeland, U.S. territories and our allies against North Korean aggression,” Wood said. “We remain prepared to use the full range of capabilities at our disposal against the growing threat from North Korea.”
