The Singapore Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) has today conveyed Singapore's deep concerns over the DPRK's announced nuclear test to the DPRK Ambassador in Singapore Ji Jae-suk. Describing the move as rash and provocative, MFA emphasised that the DPRK would not be made more secure by the test. Rather, the DPRK had aroused the entire international community against it and had thus placed itself in a more precarious position. MFA urged the DPRK to return immediately to the Six-Party Talks without preconditions.
