Provocation, which are launches of ballistic missiles by North Korea that undermine regional and international security, said on Sunday NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg.
“I condemn the launch of a ballistic missile of the DPRK. This is another violation of several resolutions of the UN Security Council, including resolution 2321, adopted in November of 2016,” – said in a statement the head of the North Atlantic Alliance, issued in Brussels.
According to him, North Korea “should refrain from further provocations, to stop all launches using ballistic missile technology and for all abandon all of its ballistic missile programmes in a complete, verifiable and irreversible extent in accordance with the requirements of the UN Security Council”.
“I urge the DPRK not to aggravate tensions further and re-engage in credible and constructive dialogue with the international community,” – said the NATO Secretary General.
