The United States has urged the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) to abstain from "provocative actions" and instead consider the "numerous opportunities" for negotiations, according to statements made by US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield on Wednesday.

Thomas-Greenfield addressed the media, stating, "We call on the DPRK to avoid engaging in provocative behavior and instead explore one of the numerous opportunities we have presented for dialogue."

In the preceding month of August, DPRK Defense Minister Kang Sun Nam revealed that during a meeting between the country's leader, Kim Jong Un, and Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu, on July 28, Kim emphasized the intention of Pyongyang to enhance security cooperation with Moscow.

Earlier this week, the DPRK's Ambassador to the United Nations, Kim Song, stressed that Pyongyang is exercising its right to self-defense with its latest satellite launch attempt.

The state-run Central News Agency had reported that the country's second attempt to launch a reconnaissance satellite had failed, adding that in October, a third attempt will be made.

"Our launch of the reconnaissance satellite is an exercise of the right to self-defense," Kim stressed during a UN Security Council meeting on Pyongyang's latest satellite launch attempt.

The DPRK's goal is to build its self-defense capability, Kim indicated, pointing out that the satellite launch did not cause any harm to the security of its neighboring country.
