Comments, urging or comments urging

"Our goal is not war, but rather the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.

Defense Minister Song made similar comments, urging Pyongyang to give up its nuclear ambitions.


It's not about politics, but grammar.


I was wondering if there should be a comma between "comments" and "urging"? Is it okay and natural?


I think that that comes from 'comments that urge...', so it should be 'comments urging' like without a comma.


If both ways are okay, could you tell me any differece and when a comma is needed or not needed?


Thank you so much as usual in advance!
