France condemns Pyongyang for missile firing
PARIS: France condemned the firing of a ballistic missile into the sea early on Sunday by North Korea, the first such test since U.S. President Donald Trump was elected.
"France condemns the missile strike that was conducted by North Korea on Feb. 12 in violation of resolutions of the United Nations' security council," the ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a short statement on Sunday.
"France reaffirms its solidarity with its partners in Asia-Pacific whose security is threatened by the North Korean nuclear and ballistic programme," it said.
The Trump administration indicated that Washington would have a calibrated response to avoid escalating tensions.
