FCDO issues statement on North Korea missile launch reports

After receiving reports of a missile launch by North Korea, the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) has released a statement.

An FCDO spokesperson said:

“North Korea’s ballistic missile launches on 14 March are a breach of multiple UN Security Council resolutions. Unlawful ballistic missile launches pose a threat to regional peace and stability.

“The UK will continue to call out violations of UNSCRs. We strongly urge North Korea to return to dialogue and take credible steps towards denuclearisation.”
