Leaders’ declaration adds to world condemnation
Print Edition
LEADERS of the BRICS grouping of emerging economies said yesterday that they “strongly deplore” North Korea’s latest nuclear test and hydrogen-bomb claim, which has overshadowed the five-nation group’s annual summit.
Their joint statement from Xiamen added to world condemnation of North Korea, which announced on Sunday that it had detonated a powerful hydrogen bomb it claims can fit on a long-range missile.
“We strongly deplore the nuclear test conducted by the DPRK,” the BRICS leaders said.
Their declaration expressed “deep concern over the ongoing tension and prolonged nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula.”
It added that BRICS collectively believe the issue “should only be settled through peaceful means and direct dialogue of all the parties concerned.”
