The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Slovak Republic is concerned about the reported launch of a long range rocket on April 13, 2012 and consider this a violation of international commitments and obligations, including the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1874, by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. This step taken by DPRK increases the tension in the region and hinders the restart of the Six-Party Talks about the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.
The Slovak Republic calls on the DPRK to suspend all actions endangering regional stability and to unquestioningly meet all relevant international commitments and comply with all obligations under the relevant UN resolutions in force.
