India deplores NKorea's nuclear test

India today deplored the latest nuclear test conducted by North Korea accusing Pyongyang of once again acting in violation of its international commitments.

"It is a matter of deep concern that Democratic People's Republic of Korea has once again acted in violation of its international commitments which goes against the objective of the de-nuclearization of the Korean peninsula, which has been endorsed by DPRK itself," India's Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement.

India called upon North Korea to refrain from such actions which adversely impact peace and stability in the region and beyond, said the statement adding New Delhi also remains concerned about the proliferation of nuclear and missile technologies which might adversely impacted India's national security.
