Following the meeting, Minister Field said:

I summoned the North Korean Ambassador to the Foreign Office to make clear the UK’s condemnation of the DPRK’s nuclear test on 3 September.

North Korea’s reckless actions have created a deeply dangerous and unstable situation. The UK will work with our partners and allies to tackle this threat.

I urge the regime to end its illegal pursuit of nuclear and ballistic missiles and return to dialogue with the international community.
