UAE condemns DPRK ballistic missile test

Xinhua, May 14, 2017 Adjust font size:

The United Arab Emirates (UAE) condemned the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) ballistic missile launch on Sunday, stressing that the test represents "a challenge" to UN Security Council resolutions, Emirati state news agency WAM reported.

The UAE said the DPRK's missile test represented a "legitimate threat to international security and stability."

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation of the Gulf Arab state said there was a need to maintain the rules against the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction in the world.

It stressed that violation of these norms is a threat and a flagrant violation of UN Security Council resolutions.

The ministry called upon the international community to take all necessary measures to address such "violations," in order to maintain international peace and security. Endit
