“In response to a question, the Spokesperson said that the rocket launch by DPRK on 08 February 2016 is a matter of deep concern. Every country has the right to peaceful uses of outer space. However, in this case we have noted that the launch is in violation of UN Security Council resolutions, which require DPRK to refrain from such actions. We have persistently maintained that DPRK should abide by all its international obligations and all parties should avoid actions that are detrimental to the objective of the establishment of a nuclear weapons free Korean peninsula within the framework of Six Party Talks.”
