Mongolia slams N Korea's ballistic rocket launch

TEHRAN, Feb. 09 (MNA) – Mongolia deeply regrets that the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea launched a ballistic rocket this February 6 in breach of resolutions of the United Nations Security Council.

It was informed by a spokesman’s statement of the Mongolian Ministry of Foreign Affairs on Monday.

This action would lead to negative impacts on the efforts of the international community to maintain international peace and security.

Mongolia reaffirms its firm position for the maintenance of peace and security in North-East Asia and for the denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula, the statement says.
