"I welcome the continued critical engagement by Member States and support the call of the Republic of Korea to the DPRK to engage in a credible and meaningful dialogue," he noted.

There are many possible avenues for this dialogue, from various bilateral formations to the Six-Party Talks, he said.

The Secretary-General disclosed that he conveyed this message Tuesday to the representatives of the Six-Party Talks, adding that "for my part, I want to repeat that my good offices are always available."

He also called on the international community to send a clear, coherent message to the leadership of the DPRK: "fully comply with international obligations, work towards reopening communication channels and support efforts to deescalate the situation."

"The solution to this crisis must be political," he stressed, noting that the potential consequences of military action are "too horrific to even contemplate."
