India, joining the US, UK and France, has strongly condemned North Korea바카라s ballistic missile launch which overflew Japan, with New Delhi underlining that these launches affect the peace and security of the region and beyond.
The missile fired on Tuesday was the first from North Korea to fly over Japan in five years. The launch mark the 24th time this year that North Korea has conducted missile tests
바카라We have noted with concern the reports of ballistic missile launches바카라 by the DPRK (Democratic People바카라s Republic of Korea), India바카라s Permanent Representative to the UN Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj said at a UN Security Council meeting on DPRK on Wednesday.
"These follow the launch of the intercontinental ballistic missile by the DPRK in March this year, which was discussed in this Council, as well as other successive launches,바카라 she said
Later, US Ambassador to the UN Linda Thomas-Greenfield delivered a joint statement on behalf of Albania, Brazil, France, India, Ireland, Japan, Norway, South Korea, the United Arab Emirates, the United Kingdom, and the United States at the UN Security Council stakeout on North Korea바카라s ballistic missile launches.
바카라The United States, Albania, Brazil, France, India, Ireland, Japan, Norway, the Republic of Korea, the United Arab Emirates, and the United Kingdom, strongly condemn the DPRK바카라s long-range ballistic missile launch which overflew Japan바카라 on October 4 and its seven other ballistic missile launches conducted since September 25, the joint statement said adding that North Korea has now launched over 35 ballistic missiles this year alone.
These launches violate multiple Security Council resolutions and pose a threat to not only the region, but to the entire international community, the joint statement said.
North Korea on Tuesday conducted its longest-ever weapons test, a nuclear-capable ballistic missile that flew over Japan and could reach the US Pacific territory of Guam.
Kamboj, in her remarks to the Council, stressed that these launches constitute a violation of the resolutions of the Security Council relating to the DPRK and 바카라they affect the peace and security of the region and beyond.바카라
India called for full implementation of the relevant UN Security Council resolutions relating to DPRK and 바카라reiterated the importance of addressing the proliferation of nuclear and missile technologies related to DPRK in our region. These linkages have an adverse impact on peace and security in the region, including on India.바카라
Kamboj said the Global South has already been disproportionately affected by the prevailing geopolitical situation and related challenges. 바카라It is therefore important to continue to make all efforts to maintain peace and stability.\
Ensuring peace and security in the Korean Peninsula is in our collective interest. Going forward, we will continue to support dialogue and diplomacy as the means to resolve the issues in the Korean Peninsula," she said.
Kamboj reiterated New Delhi바카라s continued support for denuclearisation towards peace and security in the Korean peninsula.
In the joint statement, the 11 countries said that North Korea had made its intentions clear in April and September when its leader signaled an effort to accelerate the DPRK바카라s nuclear and ballistic missile programs and even alluded to pre-emptive use of nuclear forces
바카라We are witnessing the DPRK바카라s pursuit of this objective,바카라 it said.
바카라We call on all UN member states, especially Council members, to join us in condemning this reckless behavior and in urging the DPRK to abandon in a complete, verifiable, and irreversible manner its unlawful weapons programmes and engage in diplomacy toward denuclearisation,바카라 the joint statement said, recalling the Council바카라s decision referring to 바카라further significant measures.바카라
The US Ambassador said Washington, and those who have joined her at the podium for the joint statement remain committed to diplomacy and continue to call on the DPRK to return to dialogue.
바카라But we will not stay silent as the DPRK works to undermine the global nonproliferation regime and threaten the international community,바카라 she said.
The joint statement called on the member states to fully implement the relevant Security Council resolutions.
Noting that following North Korea바카라s provocations and escalatory behaviour in 2017, the Council came together and unanimously took action to hold the DPRK accountable for its unlawful actions, the joint statement said that 바카라now again the DPRK is testing the Council바카라s resolve and we must act accordingly. The Council will continue to engage over the course of the next week to find a unified voice and way forward.바카라
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres had 바카라strongly바카라 condemned the launch of the ballistic missile, calling it a 바카라reckless act and a violation of Security Council resolutions.바카라
Guterres said it is also of 바카라serious concern바카라 that North Korea has again disregarded any consideration for international flight or maritime safety.
The Secretary-General urged North Korea to resume dialogue with the key parties concerned with a view to achieving sustainable peace and the complete and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
