North Korea: EU External Relations

(asked on 25th January 2016) - View Source

Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government what plans they have to implement the resolution of the European Parliament of 21 January regarding Europe’s relationship with North Korea.


This question was answered on 8th February 2016

We have noted the European Parliament’s resolution of 21 January regarding Europe’s relationship with North Korea. The UK and EU work together to ensure international pressure on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) is maintained, co-sponsoring the annual resolution on DPRK human rights at the UN General Assembly Third Committee. Following the nuclear test of 6 January, we are working closely with members of the UN Security Council, and EU Member States on a robust, and united, international response to the DPRK’s latest violation of UN Security Council Resolutions 1718, 1874, 2087 and 2094. These negotiations are on-going and we expect any new resolution to contain further significant measures that send a clear signal that North Korea’s actions will not be tolerated.
