OTTAWA, The Trudeau government was quick Friday to respond to the more recent launch of an intercontinental ballistic missile by North Korea, speaking of a “real and serious threat to the international peace and security”.

“Canada condemns in the strongest terms the launch of a ballistic missile by North Korea on the 28th of July, which seems to be the second test of an intercontinental ballistic missile”, said the minister of foreign Affairs, asked by chrystia Freeland, by issuing a press release.

The leader of North Korea, Kim Jong-un, said in the wake of this shooting, “all of the american territory is within our reach,” according to what has been reported to 21 h, hour of Montréal, the Agence France-Presse.

For the Trudeau government, it is “another direct violation of the numerous resolutions of the security Council of the United Nations”, which “proves once again the blatant disregard of North Korea to respect its international obligations, and are one of the largest and most dangerous made by this country to further destabilize the Asia-Pacific region and elsewhere,” said the minister Freeland, adding that these “provocations” are in a sort of”further isolate the north Korean regime”.
