According to Ambassador Goldberg the United States has had some very good meetings with the Malaysian Central Bank. These discussions were for the purpose of continued improvements in the implementations of United Nations Security Council Resolution 1874. Resolution 1874, the most recent U.N. resolution, includes important new provisions on inspections, as well as on financial matters; they are aimed at North Korea’s nuclear and missile technology programs
Ambassador Goldberg would not comment on speculation that the Malaysian bank system was being used to help fund the North Korean development of nuclear weapons. However, the Ambassador did state, “…, Malaysia has expertise in the financial sector, and experience that we hope to tap as we move forward as an international community within the UN, to implement the U.N. resolution. Again, with our overall goal being a return to serious and meaningful discussions about denuclearization and non-proliferation. That is our goal, and we look at the resolutions as a way to get back to our original purpose. “
The Ambassador stated that the United States will continue to share information with the international community in an effort to keep the international banking system safe and secure.
