DPRK: Statement by the Spokesperson on the launch of ballistic missiles

The launch of ballistic missiles on 14 March represents further violations of UN Security Council resolutions.

The EU continues to call on the DPRK to cease all illegal actions that threaten regional and international peace and security.

The DPRK should accept offers of dialogue by relevant parties and comply with its obligations under UN Security Council resolutions to abandon its nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles in a complete, verifiable, and irreversible manner.

The EU is ready to work with all partners to support any meaningful diplomatic process aimed at the complete, verifiable, and irreversible denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula.
