NATO condemns North Korea’s missile tests, urges diplomacy
NATO has criticised North Korea for conducting a series of missile launches in recent days and called on the autocratic regime to engage in diplomacy on Tuesday.
“I strongly condemn North Korea’s dangerous and destabilising missile tests,” the alliance’s leader Jens Stoltenberg said on Twitter.
Mr Stoltenberg said the missile tests violate United Nations Security Resolutions, adding that North Korea must abandon the country’s nuclear and ballistic missile programs.
He stressed that NATO stands in solidarity with Japan, South Korea and the alliance’s partners, New Zealand and Australia.
