SUBJECT: RESPONSE TO NORTH KOREAN MISSILE LAUNCHES 
 
1. (U) This is an action request for all posts. All posts 
are requested to deliver the points in para 2 below giving 
USG reaction to North Korea's July 4-5 launch of multiple 
ballistic missiles, including a Taepo Dong-2 
intercontinental-range ballistic missile. All posts are 
also requested to provide host governments the statement 
by the White House (para. 4), and should use as required 
the Qs and As in para. 5. Additional points for Embassies 
Tokyo, Ankara, New Delhi, London, Paris and Berlin are 
provided in para. 3. 
 
2. (U) Begin points for all posts. 
 
-- On July 4 and 5, North Korea launched seven ballistic 
missilesS, including a Taepo Dong-2 intercontinental-range 
missile, a matter of serious concern to ourselves, North 
Korea's neighbors and the international community. 
 
-- North Korea's development, deployment, and 
proliferation of ballistic missile, missile-related 
materials, equipment, and technology pose a serious threat 
to the region and to the international community at large. 
 
-- North Korea's actions violate its moratorium on missile 
launches, which it reaffirmed most recently in 2004. They 
are also inconsistent with the September 19, 2005 Joint 
Statement, in which all Six Parties committed to joint 
efforts for lasting peace and security in Northeast Asia. 
These launches further call into question North Korea's 
willingness to achieve a diplomatic solution to 
eliminating its nuclear programs. 
 
-- North Korea's action will only further isolate it from 
the international community and harm the interests of its 
people. 
 
-- We strongly condemn this launch, and call on the DPRK 
to refrain from further provocative actions, to cease 
immediately development and proliferation of ballistic 
missiles and to reconfirm its moratorium on all long-range 
missile launches. We also call on North Korea to return 
to the Six-Party Talks without precondition, and to work 
with the other participants to implement the September 19, 
2005 Joint Statement. 
 
-- We are consulting with our friends and allies, 
including in the Six-Party process and the United Nations 
Security Council, regarding appropriate responses to this 
provocation. Assistant Secretary Christopher Hill will 
shortly travel to Beijing, Seoul, Tokyo and Moscow to 
consult with our Six-Party partners on next steps. 
 
-- North Korea's missile programs and provocative actions 
necessitate firm measures by the international community. 
The UN Security Council bears a special responsibility in 
this regard. We look to a strong, united Security Council 
response to North Korea's provocative and defiant actions. 
 
-- We urge all nations to cease all trade with or support 
of North Korea in military and dual-use goods, services 
and know-how, including nuclear- and missile-related trade 
and support. 
 
-- We are also considering a number of other steps to deal 
with North Korea's proliferation and missile activities. 
 
-- It is critical that the international community work 
together, bilaterally and in appropriate multilateral 
fora, to halt the DPRK's provocative actions. The DPRK 
must understand that we are serious in our efforts to 
achieve a peaceful diplomatic resolution of the North 
Korean nuclear and missile issues, and that for it to 
continue those programs will only increase its political 
and economic isolation. 
 
End Points 
 
3. Begin additional points for Ankara, New Delhi, Tokyo, 
London, Paris and Berlin. 
 
-- The DPRK's ongoing proliferation of ballistic missiles 
and missile technology and components represents a serious 
destabilizing force in regional and global security. 
 
-- Particularly disturbing is ballistic missile-related 
cooperation between the DPRK and Iran. 
 
-- Tehran's missile inventory includes 1,300-km-range 
Shahab-3 medium-range ballistic missiles (MRBMs) based on 
the North Korean No Dong. 
 
-- Shahab-3s give Iran the ability to target Central Asia, 
the Gulf region, and some parts of Europe. 
 
-- More disturbingly, according to news reports, the DPRK 
has exported recently new MRBMs and components to Iran, 
giving Tehran significantly new capabilities. 
 
-- According to press accounts, this MRBM is reported to 
have a range of 2,500 km. With a reduced payload, the 
range could be extended to 3,500 km, giving Iran the 
ability to target Western Europe. 
 
-- In your dealings with the Iranian government, we urge 
that you strongly discourage it from continuing its 
proliferation trade with North Korea. 
 
4. (U) WHITE HOUSE STATEMENT ON NORTH KOREA MISSILE 
LAUNCHES, JULY 4, 2006. 
 
On the afternoon of July 4 (Washington, DC time), the U.S. 
detected multiple missile launches from North Korea, 
including the Taepo Dong 2. The United States strongly 
condemns these missile launches and North Korea's 
unwillingness to heed calls for restraint from the 
international community. We are consulting with 
international partners on next steps. This provocative 
act violates a standing moratorium on missile tests to 
which the North had previously committed. Regardless of 
whether the series of launches occurred as North Korea 
planned, they nevertheless demonstrate North Korea's 
intent to intimidate other states by developing missiles 
of increasingly longer ranges. We urge the North to 
refrain from further provocative acts, including further 
ballistic missile launches. 
 
The September 2005 Joint Statement at the Fourth Round of 
the Six Party Talks offered the North Korean government 
and the North Korean people a better path. North Korea's 
actions only serve to further isolate North Korea and harm 
its people. While the United States remains committed to 
a peaceful diplomatic solution and to implementation of 
the agreed upon Joint Statement the North Korean regime's 
actions and unwillingness to return to the talks appears 
to indicate that the North has not yet made the strategic 
decision to give up their nuclear programs as pledged to 
the other five parties. Accordingly, we will continue to 
take all necessary measures to protect ourselves and our 
allies. 
 
We will be seeking to address this matter in discussions 
in New York and with our allies and regional partners. 
 
END STATEMENT 
 
5. (U) If asked points, for all posts 
 
If asked about North Korea's motives: 
 
-- We will not speculate about North Korea's motives 
 
If asked, regarding North Korean missile exports: 
 
-- We are greatly concerned about the North's continued 
export of ballistic missiles and related equipment, 
materials and technologies to countries of concern. 
 
-- North Korea has marketed its missile technology and 
equipment worldwide. 
 
-- Recipients of North Korean missile components and 
technology have included Iran, Syria, Yemen and Pakistan. 
 
-- The United States imposed sanctions on North Korean 
entities multiple times for missile-related transfers to 
Iran, Pakistan and Syria. 
 
If asked about the future of the Six Party Talks: 
 
-- The United States seeks a peaceful, diplomatic, and 
multilateral solution. If North Korea is willing to honor 
its commitments under the September 19, 2005 Joint 
Statement, the Talks can contribute to such a solution. 
 
-- The Joint Statement laid out a clear and attractive 
path for North Korea to become part of the international 
community. The absence of any efforts by the North to 
 
return to the Talks to implement the Joint Statement - in 
conjunction with this missile launch - reduces our 
confidence that the North has made the decision to fulfill 
its denuclearization pledges made to all five parties in 
the Joint Statement. 
 
-- We will consult closely with the other four parties 
about appropriate next steps. 
 
If asked about whether the United States is willing to 
offer the North peace treaty negotiations or other 
incentives to stop missile tests and to return to the 
talks: 
 
-- What is on offer is what all six parties agreed to in 
the Joint Statement.
