The President
today spoke by phone with President Xi Jinping of China to coordinate
efforts in responding to North Korea's January 6 nuclear test.
Both leaders reaffirmed their commitment to the complete and verifiable
denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. Both leaders also conveyed
that they will not accept North Korea as a nuclear weapon state. They
agreed that North Korea's planned ballistic
missile test would contravene multiple U.N. Security Council
resolutions and represent another provocative and destabilizing action.
Finally, the leaders emphasized the importance of a strong and united
international response to North Korea's provocations,
including through an impactful UN Security Council Resolution.
