Cambodia expresses "grave concern" over DPRK's recent nuclear test

Xinhua, September 12, 2016 Adjust font size:

Cambodia on Monday expressed "grave concern" over the nuclear test conducted on Sept. 9 by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and urged the DPRK to comply with United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the nuclear test "is clearly in violation of the relevant UNSC resolutions and could further deteriorate the already volatile situation in the Korean Peninsula."

"Cambodia reaffirms the importance of peace and stability in the Korean Peninsula and reiterates its full support for the denuclearization of this region for the sake of peace, security and stability, and strongly urges DPRK to comply with all relevant UNSC resolutions," the statement said.

The statement came three days after the DPRK's announcement that it had successfully carried out a nuclear warhead explosion, which marked its fifth nuclear test after Pyongyang conducted what it called a hydrogen-bomb test on Jan. 6. Endit
