G-7 Countries On North Korea: North Korea is not deterring from its antics. Every other day news is coming that North Korea is firing ballistic missiles towards Japan and South Korea. At the same time, G-7 countries have also raised their voice against North Korea. G-7 countries on Sunday condemned North Korea’s ‘reckless’ launch of another intercontinental ballistic missile. Also called on the UN Security Council to take ‘significant’ action to stop the test.
Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven countries said North Korea was “destabilizing the region despite the international community’s calls for peace and stability” by repeatedly firing missiles. According to media reports, the missile that North Korea tested on Friday appears to be the latest ICBM capable of hitting the US mainland.
