Stéphane Dujarric, Spokesman for the Secretary-General
The Secretary-General strongly condemns the launch today of a long-range ballistic missile by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK).
The DPRK's continued launches of missiles using ballistic missile technology are clear violations of relevant Security Council resolutions.
The Secretary-General remains concerned about the situation on the Korean Peninsula. He has consistently called for de-escalation, the full implementation of relevant Security Council resolutions, an environment that is conducive to dialogue, and the resumption of talks.
Diplomatic engagement remains the only pathway to sustainable peace and the complete and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
