<p>On 5 September the Minister for Asia and the Pacific summoned the North Korean
ambassador to condemn North Korea's nuclear test on 3 September. He emphasised that
North Korea's continued development of nuclear and ballistic missile capabilities
was reckless, posed a threat to international peace and security, increased regional
tension and hindered the prospects for lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula. Ministers
and our Embassy in Pyongyang have made the same points on many occasions to the North
Korean authorities.</p>
