SINGAPORE: Singapore has urged North Korea to desist from further provocative actions and integrate in the region for peace and prosperity.
In a statement in response to North Korea’s nuclear test on Tuesday, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that it was gravely concerned with North Korea’s nuclear test, describing it as a clear breach of the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and an outrageous act of defiance against the entire international community.
The test did not enhance North Korea’s own security and threatened to destabilise the entire region including North Korea itself, the statement said.
“We call upon North Korea to desist from further provocative actions. It is our hope that North Korea will change course and integrate itself into the region. Only then can North Korea share in our region’s peace and prosperity”, the ministry said.
The ministry will make its views known to North Korea through its ambassador in Singapore. – Bernama
