RIYADH, Sept. 4 (Xinhua) -- Bahrain on Monday condemned the latest nuclear test conducted by the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) as a threat to peace, the Bahrain News Agency reported.
Bahrain's Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that the DPRK's repeated nuclear tests pose a serious threat to peace in the Korean Peninsula and the world at large and constitute a clear challenge to the international community.
"The Ministry of Foreign Affairs stresses the need for North Korea to stop all practices that raise tensions, threaten international peace and security, and to abide fully by international resolutions and treaties on the non-proliferation of weapons of mass destruction," the statement said.
It also stressed the necessity for the international community "to ensure International Atomic Energy Agency supervision of all nuclear programmes and activities" by the DPRK.
The DPRK on Sunday detonated a hydrogen bomb that can be carried by an intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBM), DPRK's Central Television announced. This was the sixth nuclear test the DPRK has undertaken.
