The Government of Hungary strongly condemns the missile tests conducted by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea on 19 July 2016.

The repeated launches of ballistic missiles are a grave violation of the relevant UN Security Council resolutions and constitute a severe threat to the security of the Korean Peninsula. We call on the leadership of North Korea to immediately cease all activities that could destabilize the region and to irreversibly dismantle its nuclear arms and ballistic missile programmes.
