Foreign Secretary statement on North Korea missile test
The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson has condemned North Korea's latest missile test.
The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson said:
This is yet another reminder of the grave danger that North Korea poses to her neighbours, particularly Japan and South Korea, who are our friends and allies.
Regardless of the variety of missile launched, any test of this kind breaks UN Security Council Resolutions once again.
I expect this will be on the agenda at the upcoming G20 summit and addressed at the UN over the coming days.
The international community must redouble its efforts to impose a price on this regime, which strains every nerve and sinew to build nuclear weapons and launch illegal missiles, even as the people of North Korea endure starvation and poverty.
