New York - North Korea's ambassador to the United Nations said on Monday the country should be congratulated for its first nuclear test instead of being condemned by the international community.

"It is better for the security council of the United Nations to congratulate the DPRK scientists and researchers," instead of pursuing a "reckless resolution" against Pyongyang, ambassador Pak Gil-Yon told CNN television.

He was referring to the country by its official title, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea.

The UN security council was meeting in emergency closed session on Monday to discuss its response to North Korea's test, with some members openly calling for sanctions to be imposed on the Stalinist regime.
