Background
North Korea has conducted a series of missile tests in recent months, including the launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) on October 4. These tests have raised concerns about North Korea’s nuclear and missile capabilities, and have led to calls for increased international pressure on the country.
The UN Security Council has imposed a number of sanctions on North Korea in an attempt to curb its nuclear and missile programs. However, North Korea has continued to develop its weapons programs in defiance of these sanctions.
UK response
The UK has condemned North Korea’s missile launches and has called on the country to cease these provocative actions and return to dialogue. The UK has also worked with its international partners to impose sanctions on North Korea and to uphold the rules-based international order.
