MFA Press Statement: Democratic People's Republic of Korea's Nuclear Test on 6 January 2016

6 January 2016

     Singapore is gravely concerned by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) announcement that it has conducted a nuclear test on 6 January 2016.  This is a dangerous and provocative act with serious implications on the peace and stability of the region and the DPRK itself.  It is also a clear breach of the relevant UN Security Council resolutions.  We strongly call upon the DPRK to desist from further such actions, and reiterate our long standing call for the DPRK to abide by its international obligations and commitments.  Singapore intends to make its views known to the DPRK through its Ambassador in Singapore.
