The secretary-general "will be discussing the situation on the Korean Peninsula with all concerned parties in the margins of the upcoming high level week of the United Nations General Assembly". he added.
North Korea fired a missile over Japan's northern island Hokkaido and into the Pacific Ocean on Friday.
