    UNITED NATIONS, June 23 (Xinhua) -- UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan on Friday called on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) not to conduct a possible missile test.

    "As I have said recently, to be testing that kind of missile in a region like the Korean Peninsula, at a time when we have lots of difficult issues, and the six-party talks have stalled, it is not a wise thing to do it," Annan told reporters at UN headquarters in New York.

    He thus called on the DPRK to listen to what the international community is telling it.

    "As far as the Security Council is concerned, I will leave the Council to make its own judgment," Annan added. Enditem
