ASEAN Foreign Ministers’ Statement on The Ballistic Missile Launch on The Korean Peninsula

  1. We expressed grave concern over the recent launch of the ballistic missiles by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) on July 12, 2023.
  2. We were deeply dismayed by this action, particularly during the 56th ASEAN Ministerial Meetings/Post Ministerial Conference Meetings (AMM/PMC) and other ASEAN-led meetings, and reaffirmed our commitment to the promotion of peace, security, and stability in the region, to which the DPRK is also committed to, including as a member of the ASEAN Regional Forum.
