The federal government has cautioned the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea against any activity that could disrupt the peace in the Korean Peninsula and the rest of the world.
FG cautions North Korea against jeopardizing world peace
The federal government was reacting to Sunday, February 7, ballistic missile fired by northern Korea, which has drawn global condemnation and threats from world powers.
In a statement made available in Abuja on Wednesday, February 10, the ministry of foreign affairs warned the North Korean government to abide by the United Nations security council resolution 1718 which requires it to suspends all activities related to its ballistic missile programme.
The statement added that it would like the DPRK to fully comply with that UN resolution and desist from any act capable of “jeopardizing world peace.”
The statement reads in part: “Nigeria supports the commitment of the United Nations security council in working towards a diplomatic and political solution leading to the full demilitarization of the Korean Peninsula.
“While we reaffirm our support for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and strong commitment to nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, the federal government encourages DPRK to return to the 6-party talks.”
