New York, Aug 3 (IBNS): NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday condemned North Korea's ballistic missile test.

"I strongly condemn North Korea’s ballistic missile test today, which caused one missile to land in Japan’s Exclusive Economic Zone," he said in a statement.

"This is yet another in a series of missile tests in clear and direct violation of several United Nations Security Council Resolutions, including Resolution 2270, which require that North Korea cease all activities related to its ballistic missile programme," he said.


The Secretary General urged North Korea to abandon all its existing nuclear and ballistic missile activity.

"NATO calls on Pyongyang to immediately cease and abandon all its existing nuclear and ballistic missile activities in a complete, verifiable and irreversible manner. North Korea should re-engage in international talks and refrain from any further provocative actions," read the statement.
