FCDO statement on DPRK ballistic missile launches: 8 May
The FCDO has released a statement following ballistic missile launches by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on 8 May.
An FCDO spokesperson said:
DPRK’s ballistic missile launches on 8 May are another breach of multiple UN Security Council resolutions (UNSCRs). Unlawful ballistic missile launches continue to destabilise the peace and security of the Korean Peninsula.
The UK strongly urges the DPRK to stop such provocations and return to dialogue.
