4. INDIA ‘DEPLORES’ NORTH KOREA'S NUCLEAR TEST, LIKELY TO RAISE PROLIFERATION AT BRICS India criticised the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea’s (DPRK) decision to test a
thermo-nuclear device on 3 September, saying it views with “deep concern” the test that was in violation of its international commitment, and constituted a threat to India’s national
security as well. “India deplores the nuclear test conducted by the DPRK (North Korea) this morning,” the Ministry of External Affairs said in a statement, adding, “We call upon the DPRK to
refrain from such actions which adversely impact peace and stability in the region and beyond.” The statement came as Prime Minister Narendra Modi landed in the Chinese city of Xiamen to
attend the BRICS (Brazil Russia India China South Africa) grouping summit, where the North Korean nuclear test is expected to be discussed between the leaders. Modi is likely to raise
concerns over North Korea as well as Pakistan, countries that have received support on their nuclear programmes from China, during the BRICS visit.
