I welcomed Vietnam's efforts to date and encouraged further progress.

We will work together to ensure all States conclude a comprehensive safeguards agreement and an Additional Protocol with the IAEA.

We are fully committed to support in that respect the important role of the United Nations Security Council.

The DPRK must comply fully with its non-proliferation obligations, and dismantle its nuclear weapons and nuclear weapons programs in a permanent, transparent, thorough, and verifiable manner.

That is only a beginning.
