AUSTRALIA KECAM UJICOBA NUKLIR KORUT

Pemerintah Australia, Senin, mengutuk ujicoba nuklir bawah tanah Korea Utara (Korut) dengan menyebut aksi Pyongyang tersebut sebagai sebuah "provokasi".

Menteri Luar Negeri Stephen Smith dalam pernyataannya, Senin, mengatakan, pihaknya segera membicarakan masalah peluncuran nuklir bawah tanah Korut ini dengan Amerika Serikat, Korea Selatan, dan Jepang, sekutu dan mitra Australia di kawasan.

"Bersama negara-negara mitra, Australia akan membawa masalah ini ke Dewan Keamanan PBB," katanya.

Menurut Menlu Smith, hanya ada satu opsi buat Korut, yakni secepatnya menghentikan segala aksi provokatif memenuhi isi Resolusi DK PBB No.1718, dan kembali ke meja perundingan enam negara.

Kutukan Australia dan dunia kembali tertuju ke Korut setelah kantor berita resmi Korut (KCNA) mengonfirmasi keberhasilan negara itu melakukan ujicoba nuklir bawah tanah Senin (25/5).

KCNA mengklaim mengklaim tujuan ujicoba nuklir bawah tanah itu sebagai upaya Korut meningkatkan kemampuan pertahanan diri negara itu. Korut pertama kali melakukan ujicoba nuklir pada Oktober 2006.

About Me

My photo
Brisbane, Queensland, Australia
Hi, I am a journalist of ANTARA, Indonesia's national news agency whose headquarters is in Jakarta. My fate has brought me back to Australia since March 2007 because my office assigns me to be the ANTARA correspondent there. My first visit to the neighboring country was in 2004 when I did my masters at the School of Journalism and Communication, the University of Queensland (UQ), Brisbane, under the Australian Development Scholarship (ADS) scheme. However, the phase of my life was started from a small town in North Sumatra Province, called Pangkalan Brandan. In that coastal town, I was born and grown up. Having completed my senior high school there in 1987, I moved to Medan to pursue my study at the University of North Sumatra (USU) and obtained my Sarjana (BA) degree in English literature in 1992. My Master of Journalism (MJ) was completed at UQ in July 2005. The final research project report for my MJ degree was entitled "Framing the Australian Embassy Bombing (Jakarta) in Indonesian and Australian Newspapers". Further details about me can be read in a writing posted in my blog entitled "My Life Journey".
