Question to the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office:

To ask Her Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of reports and satellite images in The Wall Street Journal on 1 July which suggest that North Korea is completing a major expansion of a significant missile manufacturing facility in Hamhung as part of its nuclear weapons programme.

​We are aware of reports that North Korea has carried out work to expand its missile manufacturing facility in Hamhung. North Korea has committed to work towards the complete denuclearisation of the Korean Peninsula, but until they match their words with swift, concrete actions we will continue working with our international partners to strictly enforce existing sanctions.
