4. SOUNDBITE (English) Yukiya Amano, Director General, IAEA:
“The nuclear program of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea remains a matter of serious concern. The agency has had no inspectors in the country since April last year. The DPRK has not permitted the Agency to implement safeguards in the country since December 2002 and it has not implemented the measures called for in Security Council sanctions 1718 and 1874. I call on all parties concerned to make concerted efforts for a resumption of the Six-Party talks at an appropriate time.”

6. SOUNDBITE (English) Yukiya Amano, Director General, IAEA:
“In the case of Iran, the Agency continues to verify the non-diversion of declared nuclear material, but Iran has not provided the necessary cooperation to permit the Agency to confirm that all nuclear material in Iran is in peaceful activities. The cooperation needed includes, among other things, full implementation of relevant resolutions of the IAEA Board of Governors and the United Nations Security Council.”

8. SOUNDBITE (English) Ambassador Mohammad Khazaee, Permanent Representative of Iran, United Nations:
“Reporting so much technical details about Iran’s peaceful nuclear activities proves that the Agency has the full access to all nuclear material and facilities in the Islamic Republic of Iran, including the frequent inspections with using the Agency’s containment and surveillance. Therefore, claiming that, “Iran has not provided the necessary cooperation’ is incorrect and misleading."

“The nuclear issue of the Korean Peninsula is the direct outcome of the hostile nuclear threat policies of the United States against the DPRK.”
