Several European ambassadors condemned the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) for its continued ballistic missile testing. The joint statement came from  Belgium, Estonia, France, Germany, the United Kingdom, and Poland.

According to the statement, read by Polish Ambassador Joanna Wronecka, the DPRK “has conducted 13 sets of ballistic missile launches since May and continued to operate its nuclear program.”

The Europeans issued the statement after closed Security Council consultations on North Korea’s latest missile launches on Nov. 28. The 15-member council didn’t issue any statement.

Wronecka said these “provocative actions” undermine “regional security and stability as well as international peace and security” and are “in clear violation of unanimously adopted UN Security Council resolutions.”

The ambassadors also condemned “the recent threats made by DPRK to partners in the region and beyond” and urged the DPRK “to engage in good faith in a meaningful negotiation with the United States aimed at denuclearization and to take concrete steps to abandoning all weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs in a complete, verifiable, and irreversible manner.”

France and the United Kingdom are permanent members of the Security Council, while Belgium, Germany, and Poland are non-permanent members. Estonia will join the Council in January as a non-permanent member.
