answer text <p>North Korea has developed a nuclear programme in breach of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and ten unanimously agreed UN Security Council Resolutions. North Korea has long claimed that risk of attack from the US has justified the development of its nuclear programme. However, it is North Korea’s own provocative actions towards the US and other countries in the region and its flagrant disregard for international norms that pose a serious threat to international peace and security. We strongly urge North Korea to take decisive steps to fulfil the commitments it has made to denuclearise and open the way to a more stable and prosperous future.</p> more like this
