North Korea's Nuclear Test "Undermines Regional and International Security"

Brussels - The nuclear weapons test announced by North Korea "undermines regional and international security and is in clear breach of UN Security Council resolutions", said this Wednesday NATO Secretary General, Jens Stoltenberg.

"I condemn the continued development by North Korea of nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs and its inflammatory and threatening rhetoric", he added in a press release.

NATO Secretary General called on North Korea to fully respect its international obligations and commitments, stressing that this country should abandon nuclear weapons and existing nuclear and ballistic missile programs in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner, and engage in credible and authentic talks on denuclearization.

North Korea said it has successfully carried out this Wednesday its first underground test of a hydrogen bomb.
