The Federal Government of Nigeria has said it is not in support of the
ballistic missile tests by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. In a statement by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Intergovernmental
relations, the FG warned North Korea not to proceed with actions that can
jeopardise peace in the Korean Peninsula and the world at large.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the North Korean Government
should abide by the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1718 which
requires it to suspends all activities related to its ballistic missile
programme.
The statement added that it would like the DPRK to fully comply with that
UN resolution and desist from any act capable of jeopardising world peace. The statement reads in part, “Nigeria supports the commitment of the United
Nations Security Council in working towards a diplomatic and political solution
leading to the full de-militarisation of the Korean Peninsula.
“While we reaffirm our support for the peaceful uses of nuclear energy and
strong commitment to nuclear non-proliferation and disarmament, the Federal
Government encourages DPRK to return to the 6-party talks.”
Nigeria has joined the global community and powers in condemning the
Ballistic Missile fired by the Northern Korea on Sunday.
