Singapore expresses deep concern, extreme disappointment over DPRK nuclear test

Xinhua, September 9, 2016 Adjust font size:

Singapore is deeply concerned and extremely disappointed by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea(DPRK)'s conduct of yet another nuclear test on Friday, said the Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) in a statement.

"This deliberate and provocative act seriously jeopardizes the peace and stability of the region," noted MFA.

The ministry said these actions, including the recent missile tests, are flagrant breaches of relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions, including resolution 2270 adopted in March this year.

"We strongly urge the DPRK to desist from such actions, and reiterate our long-standing call for the DPRK to abide by its international obligations and commitments," said MFA.

The ministry added that the DPRK can share in the region's peace and prosperity only if it changes course and works to integrate itself with the region. Enditem
