MFA Spokesperson's Comments on the DPRK's Recent Ballistic Missile Tests
19 March 2023
In response to media queries on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK)’s recent ballistic missile launches, including an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) launch on 16 March 2023, the MFA Spokesperson said:
“Singapore’s longstanding stance towards the DPRK’s ballistic missile tests, including ICBM tests, is clear and consistent. Such tests are dangerous and clearly a violation of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions, and Singapore therefore strongly opposes and condemns them. We urge the DPRK to not disregard the grave concerns of the international community, and to cease all provocations and abide by its international obligations and commitments. Such provocative actions will jeopardise the prospects for lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula.”
