Anne-Marie Trevelyan, the UK FCDO Minister of State, criticises North Korea’s recent missile tests on 2 November.
FCDO Minister of State said;
“The UK condemns North Korea’s launch of an unprecedented number of missiles on 2 November. We call on the regime to immediately stop all activity that violates UN Security Council Resolutions. This is the first time a ballistic missile has been fired so close to South Korean territorial waters and demonstrates North Korea’s reckless actions.
“The UK continues to work closely with our partners to urge North Korea to return to dialogue and take credible steps towards denuclearisation in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner. We call on North Korea to prioritise the well-being of its people instead of the unlawful pursuit of nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.”
