China sits unmoved in North Korea uproar
31 Mar 2009LONDON (Reuters) - The United States will respond to any North Korean missile launch by raising the matter in the U.N. Security Council, a U.S. official said on Wednesday.

North Korea has said it will launch a communications satellite between April 4 and 8 under its space program. Washington and its allies in Asia see the plan as a disguised long-range missile test.

The U.S. official, speaking on condition of anonymity on the sidelines of a G20 meeting in London, said Washington would react if North Korea launched a missile.

"There are U.N. Security Council resolutions so I would expect we would be talking to the U.N. Security Council about how to respond," the official told reporters.

"The president made clear we are deeply concerned about the prospective missile launch by the North Koreans ... That this is provocative to the region and contrary to U.N. Security Council resolutions ... There will be a reaction to it."
