Mrs. Haley
The Security Council is sending a clear message to North Korea today — stop firing ballistic missiles or face the consequences. The members of the Council — including three of North Korea’s closest neighbours — agree that North Korea’s missiles are a threat to international peace and security and that the international community must respond to the threat. It is long past time for North Korea to …
Mr. Liu Jieyi
Relevant Security Council resolutions include explicit provisions against any launches by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea using ballistic missile technology.

Mr. Cardi
Italy welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 2356 (2017). The Security Council has today sent another message of unity and determination against the repeated provocation of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, which constitutes a flagrant violation of international law and a serious threat to regional and international peace and security. We thank the United States and China for movi…
Mr. Safronkov
Russia supported today’s adoption of the new resolution 2356 (2017), concerning sanctions on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The resolution we have just adopted demands that Pyongyang stop its inappropriate behaviour and submit to the legitimate demands of the international community. Missile launches, especially those carried out without warning, are unacceptable. They are not only a …
Mr. Wilson
The United Kingdom welcomes the unanimous adoption of resolution 2356 (2017) today. Through the resolution and our unity, we have sent a clear message to the regime of the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea — faced with a sustained pattern of reckless, belligerent behaviour from Pyongyang, we, the Security Council, will act. Repeated missile launches threaten our allies and partners in the Rep…
Mr. Yelchenko
Ukraine voted in favour of resolution 2356 (2017), which designates additional North Korean individuals and entities for inclusion into the relevant control lists, in response to the recent provocative ballistic-missile launches by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. We welcome the efforts of the delegations involved in drafting the text.
At the same time, in the context of its almost wee…
Mr. Umarov
We welcome the adoption of resolution 2356 (2017), on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea. The position of Kazakhstan remains stable and consistent. We condemn, in the strongest terms, any launches of ballistic missiles, as they are in flagrant violation of all the relevant Security Council resolutions. Such actions undermine our common international efforts to strengthen regional and, ulti…
Mr. Delattre
I thank the United States for putting forward resolution 2356 (2017). France welcomes its unanimous adoption.
For years, North Korea has been insistently pushing the development of its nuclear and ballistic programmes at the highest levels of the regime. It has been methodically trying to acquire an operational nuclear arsenal at the sacrifice of its own population. Let us be clear: each ballist…
Mr. Skoog
Like others, we welcome the unanimous adoption of today’s Security Council resolution 2356 (2017). The Council’s action comes in response to the intensified pattern of provocations by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea and demonstrates, once again, the unity and resolve of the Council on this issue.
Sweden condemns in the strongest terms the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s repeate…
Mr. Bermúdez
Uruguay wishes to take this opportunity to reiterate its concern about repeated missile launches by North Korea and the increased tensions on the Korean peninsula. Such actions constitute a serious threat to international peace and security and are a clear violation of Security Council resolutions.
Uruguay voted in favour of resolution 2356 (2017) because it believes that sanctions are a tool th…
Mr. Aboulatta

Mr. Ciss
The Senegalese delegation voted in favour of resolution 2356 (2017), which strengthens the sanctions regime on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, in accordance with my country’s commitment to a world free of nuclear weapons, but also to express Senegal’s position in favour of a denuclearized Korean peninsula. North Korea’s launches of ballistic missiles, which my country has strongly cond…

We also believe that sanctions are a means and not …
Mr. Cho Tae-yul
Let me begin by thanking the Bolivian presidency for convening today’s meeting. My delegation is grateful to be a part of this important meeting.
The latest ballistic-missile launch by the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea, on 29 May, was the ninth in the year 2017 and the third in the month of May alone. In fact, the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea has conducted ballistic missile laun…
