S.Korean parliament passes resolution denouncing DPRK's nuke test

Xinhua, January 8, 2016 Adjust font size:

South Korea's parliament on Friday passed a resolution, denouncing the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK)'s fourth nuclear test, urging the DPRK to dismantle its nuclear program.

The resolution was passed unanimously through the National Assembly two days after Pyongyang announced its first successful test of a "hydrogen bomb".

The South Korean lawmakers urged Pyongyang to scrap all plans relevant to nuclear development, saying that its reckless acts would further isolate itself from the international society and increase pressures and ostracism.

The lawmakers called for the DPRK's scrap of all of its nuclear programs, including nuclear materials and facilities, the South Korean government's strong and effective measures against the DPRK's nuclear weapons and bipartisan cooperation to solve the nuclear issue.

The resolution denounced the DPRK's nuclear test as a serious provocative act threatening the lives and safety of South Koreans and the peace in Northeast Asia and the world. Enditem
