site.btaForeign Ministry: Bulgaria Condemns North Korea's Latest Ballistic Missile Test

Sofia, November 29 (BTA) - Bulgaria strongly condemns North Korea's latest launch of a ballistic missile, the Foreign Ministry said after Pyongyang fired the missile on November 28.

"This is a new, serious violation by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) of its international commitments arising from the numerous resolutions of the UN Security Council. The latest flagrant provocation threatens international peace and security and undermines the global nuclear non-proliferation regime," the Foreign Ministry said.

"Bulgaria strictly abides by the sanctions imposed on the DPRK by the UN and the EU as an instrument of pressuring North Korea into meeting its international commitments. We urge the DPRK to engage in a sustained and substantive dialogue with the international community, leading to a comprehensive, irreversible and verifiable elimination of nuclear weapons on the Korean Peninsula and full implementation of the UN resolutions," said the Foreign Ministry.
