STATEMENT OF THE SPOKESPERSON OF THE MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS OF MONGOLIA
7 January 2016, Ulaanbaatar
Mongolia deeply regrets that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea conducted a nuclear test on 6 January 2016 in breach of the United Nations Security Council Resolutions. This nuclear test would lead to negative impacts on the efforts of the international community to maintain international peace and security and non-proliferation of nuclear weapons. Mongolia reaffirms its firm position for the maintenance of peace and security in North-East Asia and for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula.
