  • China’s Foreign Minister Yang Jiechi was among interlocutors who expressed concerns about a possible North Korean missile launch. Pyongyang on its part stated that it was going to place a communications satellite in space. Most countries and observers however pointed out that this was a cover for testing a long-range ballistic missile1.

    Japan and the United States also warned Pyongyang against undertaking the launch2. Reports noted that South Korea was also closely monitoring the launch which is slated for April first week.
