Dhaka worried over N Korea's nuclear test
Dhaka has noted with deep concern the nuclear test conducted by North Korea and called for nuclear free zone in the Korean peninsula.
“Such action, it believes, is not conducive in maintenance of peace and stability in the Korean peninsula and the world in general,†said a statement issued by the foreign ministry on February 13.
Bangladesh, as a signatory to the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NNPT) and the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty (CTBT), strongly supports all international measures for nuclear free zone in the Korean peninsula, the statement said.
Bangladesh considers that nuclear testing of any kind undermines nuclear non-proliferation, both horizontal and vertical, and constitutes a major threat to international peace and security.
