Dutch FM: North Korean threat 'dangerous'
Foreign Minister Ben Bot said on Friday North Korea's threat to conduct a nuclear weapon test was a "totally wrong precedent".

Bot said after the weekly Cabinet meeting that everything possible should be done to prevent North Korea carry out the test. The Christian Democrat CDA minister urged the US and Japan to wage a tough campaign against North Korea. "The situation is dangerous," Bot said.Bot also said China should apply pressure to the North Koreans. In the past, China has advocated quiet diplomacy, along with Russia.

The foreign minister is convinced that North Korea can be persuaded against carrying out the nuclear test if sufficient international pressure is brought to bear.
Anybody else notice he hasn't mentioned any EU pressure?
"The country cannot expect our food aid and humanitarian support if the money is wasted on these sorts of projects," he said.
