MONGOLIA EXPRESSES REGRET

Ulaanbaatar, Mongolia /MONTSAME/ Mongolia regrets that a missile was launched by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) despite the warning of the international community and related resolutions of the UN Security Council.


It has been said in a statement, released by Mongolia's Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday.

A nuclear weapon-free Mongolia affirmes its aspiration to keep peace and stability in the Korean peninsula, and considers that the N.Kprea's step affects the peace and stability in the Northeast Asia and may wield an influence on resuming of the Six-Party Talks, it says.

Mongolia urges the DPRK to avoid any actions that may cause an instability in the region and to abide by the UN Security Council's resolutions.
