Singapore condemns the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) ballistic missile test on 15 September 2017, which is the second missile that flew over Japan within a month. This dangerous and brazen provocation comes less than two weeks after the DPRK’s nuclear test on 3 September, and has demonstrated yet again the DPRK’s blatant disregard of the grave concerns of the international community. Such moves have seriously affected the peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula. This test is another serious breach of United Nations Security Council resolutions (UNSCR), including resolution 2375 adopted earlier this week. We strongly urge the DPRK to cease all provocations immediately, and reiterate our long-standing call for the DPRK to abide by its international obligations and commitments.
