23/02/2023 (Agence Europe) – “The DPRK’s intention to continue developing the means to deliver nuclear weapons anywhere in the world threatens all countries”, said the High Representative of the Union for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, Josep Borrell, on Thursday 23 February. He was reacting to the firing of a long-range ballistic missile on 18 February (see EUROPE 13125/25) as well as the launch of several short-range missiles on 20 February. “The international community must respond in a united and firm manner before the DPRK’s actions further undermine the international non-proliferation architecture and raise military tensions in the region”, Borrell said. He also called on all UN members to fully implement the sanctions imposed by the UN Security Council. (LM)
