Expressing concern at the proliferation of nuclear and missile technologies which have impacted India’s national security and that of the region, Defence Minister Nirmala Sitharaman on Tuesday called on the global community to investigate North Korea’s nuclear proliferation.
“The nuclear and missile tests conducted by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (DPRK), in violation of its international commitments, have triggered serious concern. India has deplored these tests… It is important that DPRK’s proliferation linkages are investigated and those who have supported its nuclear and missile programme are held accountable,” she said.
The Defence Minister was addressing the 4th ASEAN Defence Ministers’ Meeting Plus (ADMM Plus) in Philippines.
