United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has condemned North Korea for its latest attempt to launch a military reconnaissance satellite.
Guterres in an interview with NHK said “we condemn all the violations” by North Korea “in relation to the launch of missiles” and “what was done from the nuclear dimension.”
He referred to North Korea’s launch attempt on Monday, which ended in failure after the rocket carrying the satellite exploded in midair.
Guterres said “we condemn all the violations” by North Korea “in relation to the launch of missiles” and “what was done from the nuclear dimension.”
The UN chief said it’s “absolutely essential” that North Korea “abide by international law” and “the resolutions of the Security Council.”
Guterres also said, “We cannot have a new factor of instability in the world,” and added it’s important that North Korea respect the international order.
