EU condemns the launch by the DPRK of an intercontinental ballistic missile

BRUSSELS, 26 March 2022, (TON): The EU strongly condemns the launch by the DPRK of an intercontinental ballistic missile. This is a violation of multiple United Nations Security Council Resolutions and a serious threat to international and regional peace and security.

The EU calls on the DPRK to refrain from any further action that could increase international or regional tensions.

The DPRK must comply with UN Security Council resolutions by abandoning all its nuclear weapons, other weapons of mass destruction, ballistic missile programmes and existing nuclear programmes, in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner, and cease immediately all related activities.

The DPRK cannot have the status of a nuclear weapons state. The EU calls on all UN Members to take action to implement in full the UN Security Council sanctions.

The EU stands ready to implement and complement if necessary any action that could be taken by the UN Security Council in response to this event.
