Foreign Secretary welcomes new UN Security Council resolution on North Korea
The Foreign Secretary Boris Johnson welcomes the new UN Security Council resolution against North Korea’s illegal nuclear programme.
The Foreign Secretary said:
Britain and the international community have taken further action to address the nuclear threat posed by North Korea. The UN Security Council has unanimously adopted a new Resolution that extends sanctions against North Korea’s illegal nuclear and ballistic missile programmes to more individuals and organisations.
With this Resolution, the international community has sent a clear message. We are united against North Korea’s dangerous behaviour and its continuing disregard for international security. The UK calls on North Korea to return to the negotiating table and halt all activity that breaches UN Security Council resolutions. This is the only way to reduce tensions on the Korean Peninsula.
