North Korea missile tests: Minister Trevelyan's statement, November 2022
FCDO Minister of State, Anne-Marie Trevelyan, condemns the latest missile tests by The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on 3 November 2022.
Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) Minister of State, Anne-Marie Trevelyan said:
The UK condemns the launch of an Intercontinental ballistic missile and two short range ballistic missiles by North Korea on 3 November, all in clear breach of UN Security Council Resolutions. This is deeply damaging for regional security and stability. We are also concerned about reports of a further launch today.
The DPRK must abandon its illegal nuclear and ballistic weapons programme, return to dialogue, and prioritise the well-being of its people. Until then, UN sanctions must be fully enforced.
