Britain summoned the Democratic People's Republic of Korea's ambassador to condemn the country's latest missile launch, the Foreign Office said on Thursday, calling on Pyongyang to give up its pursuit of nuclear and ballistic missiles.

"The actions of the DPRK are a direct violation of multiple Security Council resolutions and are a threat to regional and international security," Foreign Office minister Mark Field said.

He also called on the DPRK government to change course and focus on the welfare of its people, instead of the illegal pursuit of its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes.

The meeting took place on Wednesday.
