Position of the MFA on DPRK launch of a long-range rocket on February 7, 2016
08 February 2016 News
We strongly condemn the launch of a long-range ballistic missile by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), which has clearly neglected the calls of the international community to refrain from further actions that could lead to an escalation of tension in the region of Northeast Asia. This provocative act constitutes a violation of several UN Security Council resolutions and seriously undermines the international efforts to establish lasting peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
We urge insistently the DPRK to fully comply with its international obligations and to heed the voice of the world community.
