Sri Lanka reiterated its concern about the nuclear test conducted by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK) on February 12.

Through this act the DPRK has once again violated the United Nations Security Council Resolution 1874 (2009), the ministry of external affairs said in a statement.

“Sri Lanka calls on the DPRK to refrain from any action which could compromise peace and stability in the Korean Peninsula and the progress of the 6 party talks,” it said.
