Original: www.gov.uk/government/news/north-korea-ballistic-missile-test-fcdo-statement--2

A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesperson statement on North Korea’s ballistic missile test on 6 October.

A Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office spokesperson said:

North Korea’s decision to conduct a further ballistic missile test on 6 October is a violation of UN Security Council Resolutions. The UK continues to work closely with our partners to urge North Korea to return to dialogue and take credible steps towards denuclearisation in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner.

We call on North Korea to prioritise the well-being of their people instead of the illegal pursuit of nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.
