France condemns North Korea’s launch of ballistic missiles
North Korea – Short-range ballistic missile launch – Press briefing by the Ministry for Europe and Foreign Affairs Spokesperson
Paris, 18 September 2024
France utterly condemns North Korea’s 18 September launch of multiple short-range ballistic missiles – a further violation of UN Security Council resolutions. This comes several days after a previous launch of multiple missiles on 12 September.
France assures the Republic of Korea and Japan of its full solidarity. France urges North Korea to immediately cease its destabilizing actions, comply with its international obligations without delay, and return to the negotiating table so that it can engage in a process leading to the complete, verifiable, irreversible dismantlement of its nuclear and ballistic programmes.
France and its partners remain fully committed to ensuring the implementation of relevant UN Security Council resolutions and encourage dialogue among all the parties./.
