“The Secretary-General condemns the launch of another ballistic missile by the DPRK, the Spokesman said in a statement.
He added that that launch violates Security Council resolution, and said that Guterres calls on the DPRK to “ensure full compliance with its international obligations.”
DPRK fired the missile while the UN chief was in Beijing for the Belt and Road Forum. Addressing President Xi Jinping, Guterres highlighted the shared aims of China’s One Belt, One Road initiative and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), such as deepening connectivity in infrastructure, trade and finance.
The missile was reportedly fired from a base in the north-west DPRK, near the border with China.
