17:10 | Lima, Aug. 28.

The Peruvian Government on Monday reiterated its strongest condemnation over North Korea's latest missile launch, carried out last Saturday as part of the Asian nation's weapon testing sessions.

In a release, the Foreign Affairs Ministry voiced the government's opposition to North Korea's repeated tests, which breach International Law and the United Nations Security Council's resolutions on the matter.

In response, the Government of Peru once again urged North Korea to cease testing and abandon its nuclear program.

In addition, Peru called on North Korea to adhere to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons (NPT) and cooperate with the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) to facilitate the inspection of its nuclear facilities.

The Andean nation thus reiterated its commitment to international efforts aimed at promoting international peace and stability.

Finally, as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council as of January 2018, Peru vowed to gear its efforts towards the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.
