[vishwambhar]

India at the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) on Friday slammed the recent launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) and called for dialogue on issues in the Korean Peninsula, according to news agency ANI report.

In its statement by the Permanent Mission of India to the United Nations, it said, "India deplores the launch of an ICBM by the DPRK. This is a violation of the resolutions of the UN Security Council relating to the DPRK. It affects the peace and security of the region and beyond."

This comes at a time when North Korea tested what is believed to be its first intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM) in more than four years that splashed down in waters off Japan's western coast on Thursday following which Japan, the US and South Korea all condemned the test of a long-range ballistic missile.

Addressing a United Nations Security Council meet on non-proliferation and DPRK, Ambassador to India for UN TS Tirumurti said the recent launch is a violation of the resolutions of the UN Security Council.

"These linkages have an adverse impact on peace and security in the region, including on India. Support dialogue to resolve the issues in the Korean Peninsula," a statement read.

Additionally, he noted that it affects the peace and security of the region and beyond and called for full implementation of the UNSC resolutions related to the DPRK. Moreover, the UN envoy stressed that there is a pressing need to address the proliferation of nuclear and missile technologies related to DPRK in the region.

Tirumurti also said that India had granted humanitarian assistance of USD 1 million for the people of DPRK in the form of anti-Tuberculosis medicines, routed through the WHO and Reiterated New Delhi's continued support to denuclearization towards peace and security in the Korean Peninsula.

It is important to note that the suspected ICBM flew to an altitude of 6,000 kilometres (3,728 miles) and to a distance of 1,080 kilometres (671 miles) with a flight time of 71 minutes. In response to Thursday's suspected ICBM test, South Korea's military launched several warning missiles for the first time since 2017, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) said in a text sent to reporters.

North Korea is a stragetic nightmare for India because a rejuvenated Kim with Hypersonic ballistic missiles and everything who is currently assertive means that China is freed from her duties on the eastern flank entirely as madman rejuvenated kim armed to the teeth will keep Sk-Japan including the deployed ones simply in check and as a matter of fact he has the upper hand on them... setting China free to concentrate on the Indian border or campaign elsewhere..

Technically speaking Kim can now strike any US city he pleases with nuclear weapons.. He can deter the entire eastern flank

Isn't India technically in the same legal situation as North Korea as a non NPT signatory?

It is a ridiculous statement made just to please the US.

No not really.. This is an statement made for India's benefits. Kim sets China free in the eastern flank meaning now China can fully focus on the Indian border which is what India doesn't want. They do realize that Kim hnadicaps SK-Japan completely out of the picture

Traditionally India had excellent relations with both North Korea and Vietnam as both were close to Soviet Union like India.

But since Modi is a US lackey he started moving away from North Korea.

India to supply only food, medicine to North Korea

India to supply only food, medicine to North Korea

India has maintained low-key diplomatic ties with North Korea over the years, and New Delhis interactions have been largely restricted to providing food supplies.

No. This is not nightmare for India. It is just diplomacy to make realise importance of Quad in Indo-Pacific and role of India. Japan and S. Korea are our friends.

 

[jaybird]

That's rich coming from India. Should we also expect India to denuclearize herself for peace and security of the region soon? People are probably worry more about the missile control and safety protocol of India than North Korea right now.

At least North Korea didn't accidentally fire their nuclear capable missile into another nuclear armed neighbor's side that could've caused major disaster for millions of people.

Ah, India the Vishwaguru ( Teacher to the world ), at least according to Dear Leader Modi.

But my question about this news that is if Israel can have an ICBM, if USA can have ICBM and India can have an ICBM project then why not North Korea ? Otherwise India should be asking for everyone to denuclearize and everyone to only have a defensive military and that should start with USA.

Comparing India with North Korea is like comparing apples with oranges....
North Korea from it's birth had been a threat to global security.....

BrahMos (empty without warhead) accidental fire is a rare incident and India admitted mistake and said sorry but North Korea everytime fires ballistic missiles directly over Japan without respecting it's Air space is criminal..... imagine that heavy weight (in tons even without warheads) fall on densely populated cities like Tokyo...... and they do this everytime..... missile flies from North Korea crosses entire Japan and fall in Eastern Pacific..... they openly threat USA with nukes which even mega power like Russia doesn't.... enough to show how much they care about global security.....

India being peaceful and responsible QUAD member has shown a great courage to directly criticize North Korea.....

North Koreans REALLY care what indians think don't they?.............

Pakistan too should say what India has dared to say about North Korea but here you people are actually supporting a villain who is a threat to global security..... why?? Only because India has said something against it..... wow

But legally speaking India and North Korea are both NPT violators.

India has 8000km Agni-V ICBMs as well as SLBMs. China and Pakistan are right on the border, IRBMS would be enough to cover both of these. I wonder why India has ICBMs...
