answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 17/03/2016 answer text <p>We have made clear repeatedly in this House, in the UN Security Council and directly to North Korean Government officials that we condemn any ongoing nuclear activity by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and that such activity is in violation of UN Security Council Resolutions. As the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Rt Hon. Friend the Member for Runnymede and Weybridge (Mr Hammond) said in his statement on 2 March, North Korea must put a stop to these provocations and take tangible steps to re-engage constructively with the international community. I met a senior visiting DPRK diplomat in December 2015 where I condemned their nuclear programme. I also summoned the DPRK Ambassador on two occasions in January and February where I made clear the British Government’s condemnation of their actions and that these provocations were a deliberate violation of a number of UN Security Council Resolutions.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 17/03/2016 16:39:22 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 16/03/2016 answer text <p>We are aware of reports of the execution of General Ri Yong-gil, the Chief of Staff of the Korean People’s Army, on Wednesday 10 February 2016. Due to the closed nature of the regime in the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), we cannot verify the accuracy of these reports. The UK, working with the EU and Japan, has ensured that annual UN resolutions consistently call on the DPRK to end its use of the death penalty and adhere to international standards on judicial procedures. We also use our diplomatic relations to raise our concerns directly with North Korea officials in London and Pyongyang.</p> answering member constituency East Devon answering member printed Mr Hugo Swire question first answered 16/03/2016 16:43:51 answering member 1408 label Biography information for Lord Swire
