Pakistan concerned at North Korea's missile launch

Pakistan expressed deep concern on Wednesday over the reported launch of a ballistic missile by the North Korea on Nov 29, 2017. "Such launches constitute violation of the UN Security Council resolutions. These steps also undermine the goals of peace and stability of the Korean Peninsula, the North-East Asia region and beyond," said foreign office spokesperson Dr Mohammad Faisal, while reacting to the North Korean latest launch of the ballistic missile.
He said that Pakistan continues to call upon the North Korea to comply with its obligations under the Security Council resolutions and refrain from actions that could lead to escalation of tensions. In order to maintain peace and stability in the Korean Peninsula, he emphasized, it is vital for all relevant parties to pursue the path of dialogue and diplomacy, reduce tensions and work towards achieving a comprehensive solution.
