UN: Secretary-General Condemns Ballistic Missile Launch by Democratic People’s Republic of Korea as Breach of 2018 Moratorium

New York, NY, Feb 1 – Today, The spokesman for the UN Secretary-General António Guterres issued a statement，

“The Secretary-General condemns the launch of a ballistic missile of possible intermediate range by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on 30 January. This is a breaking of the DPRK’s announced moratorium in 2018 on launches of this nature, and a clear violation of Security Council resolutions. It is of great concern that the DPRK has again disregarded any consideration for international flight or maritime safety. The Secretary-General urges the DPRK to desist from taking any further counter-productive actions and calls for all parties to seek a peaceful diplomatic solution.” The spokesman for UN Secretary-General António Guterres said.
