The UK is closely monitoring tensions on the Korean Peninsula, including the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's (DPRK) ballistic missile launches, which breach United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions. We unequivocally condemn all actions that endanger the peace and stability of the region. We continue to raise these issues bilaterally with the DPRK through their Embassy in London. The UK will continue to hold them to account for their destabilising behaviour and urge them to return to dialogue.
