The launch of a missile over Japan by the Democratic People´s Republic of Korea (DPRK) today was a reckless and deliberately provocative action in blatant violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

The DPRK must cease missile launches, refrain from a nuclear test and engage in meaningful dialogue with the United States, the Republic of Korea and other members of the international community.

It is now critical that the UN Security Council responds appropriately to this growing threat to international and regional peace and security before the DPRK's actions raise further military tension in the region.

The EU will play its full role in garnering international support for action to convince the DPRK that the only route to sustainable peace and security lies in abiding by international law and engaging with the international community in a way that helps the people of the DPRK.
