Russia calls in North Korean envoy over nuclear test

MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russia on Wednesday called the North Korean ambassador to the foreign ministry where he was told Moscow had "serious concern" over this week's nuclear test, a ministry statement said.

"During the talks that were held, we let him (the envoy) know of the serious concerns Russia has regarding the underground nuclear test conducted in North Korea on May 25," the statement said.

The ministry also called on North Korea to rejoin the six-party talks aimed at ending its nuclear programme.
