UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said on Friday that North Korea should “immediately refrain” from any new “provocation”.
This comes after it launched a ballistic missile that traveled about 1,000 km before it fell into the sea off Japan.
Guterres said, through his spokesman, that North Korea should “resume dialogue” in preparation for the “complete denuclearization” of the peninsula.
On Friday, North Korea launched a missile that sparked concern and many reactions from different countries.
The missile is the latest in a record series of missile launches in recent weeks by Pyongyang. According to the South Korean military, the missile is an intercontinental ballistic missile, at a time when Seoul and Washington expect Pyongyang to be preparing for an imminent nuclear test.
A source said that the missile is capable of reaching the US mainland.
