As the Minister of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs, my Rt Hon. Friend the
Member for East Devon (Mr Swire), set out in his Written Ministerial Statement of
8 March, which I repeated in the House of Lords the same day [HLWS571], the Government
remains deeply concerned by North Korea’s continued development of its nuclear and
ballistic missile programmes, and its sustained prioritisation of these programmes
over the well-being of its own people. All states are obliged to abide by UN Security
Council resolutions prohibiting uranium transfers to North Korea. We would take any
credible reports of such transfers from anywhere in the world very seriously. We have
not engaged with the Government of the Democratic Republic of Congo on this issue.
