"U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson will chair a special meeting of the U.N. Security Council to be convened later this week to discuss North Korea, the State Department announced Monday. The ministerial meeting, set for Friday at the U.N. headquarters in New York, represents a U.S. effort to drum up international support for its push to increase pressure on North Korea over its nuclear and missile programs. 'The DPRK poses one of the gravest threats to international peace and security through its pursuit of nuclear weapons, ballistic missiles, and other weapons of mass destruction as well as its other prohibited activities,' the department said in a statement. 'The meeting will give Security Council members an opportunity to discuss ways to maximize the impact of existing Security Council measures and show their resolve to respond to further provocations with appropriate new measures,' the statement said."
