Taiwan gravely concerned about Pyongyang's rocket launch: MOFA

Deputy Foreign Minister Javier C.S. Hou called for vigilance by the relevant parties in the world regarding the matter.

Hou made the remarks at a meeting of the Legislative Yuan's Foreign and National Defense Committee, during which opposition Democratic Progressive Party Legislator Tsai Huang-liang asked why the foreign ministry had not publicly condemned Pyongyang's "provocative" move, as other nations had done.

Hou responded that the foreign ministry had issued a newsletter April 2, before the rocket was launched, calling for Pyongyang to exercise self-restraint and seek solutions to differences by means of dialogue.

The foreign ministry planned to issue a formal statement about North Korea's actions later in the day, Hou told Tsai.
