NEW YORK, Nov 29 (KUNA) -- UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres strongly condemned Wednesday the North Korea's recent launch of a ballistic missile.
"This is a clear violation of UNSC resolutions and shows complete disregard for the united view of the international community," said UN Spokesman Stephane Dujarric in a statement.
"The Secretary-General urges the DPRK to desist from taking any further destabilizing steps. The Secretary-General reaffirms his commitment to working with all parties to reduce tensions," said the Spokesman.
Meanwhile, Dujarric mentioned that UNSC is scheduled to hold an emergency meeting later today to discuss responses to the latest Pyongyang's missile launch.
North Korea launched an intercontinental ballistic missile on Tuesday, which according to news reports landed in the Sea of Japan. (end)
