F.P. Report
BRUSSELS: The Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) repeated missile launches, most recently on 27 January, are a threat to international and regional peace and security and go against international efforts to resume dialogue and engage in actions to help the country’s people.
The DPRK must comply fully with its obligations under relevant UN Security Council Resolutions. The EU reiterates its call on the DPRK to cease destabilising actions and respond constructively to the readiness for dialogue expressed by the United States and the Republic of Korea.
The EU stands ready to support any new and meaningful diplomatic process. The EU is committed to the objective of the DPRK abandoning its weapons of mass destruction, ballistic missiles and existing nuclear programmes in a comprehensive, verifiable and irreversible manner.
