France Wednesday strongly condemned the missile tests carried out by North Korea, accusing the Stalinist regime of being a "major contributor" to global weapons proliferation.
"France condemns the missile tests carried out by North Korea," the foreign ministry said in a statement. "It shares the concerns sparked by these developments, especially among North Korea's neighbours. These concerns are particularly linked to fears that such missiles could carry weapons of mass destruction." |

Security Council to impose sanctions against North Korea for its missile launches Wednesday, saying only diplomacy could halt the isolated regime's nuclear and rocket development programs, The Associated Press reports from New York where the UN Security Council members held an emergency session at Japan's request, after North Korea had held missile tests.
Japan, backed by the U.S. and Britain, circulated a resolution that would ban any country from transferring funds, material and technology that could be used in North Korea's missile and weapons of mass destruction programs. |
