The Indian Ministry of External Affairs has announced he will “hold accountable” anyone who has helped with North Korea’s nuclear ambitions.
Ministry of External Affairs spokesperson Raveesh Kumar told reporters at a news conference in New York: “External Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj deplored North Korea’s recent actions and stated that its proliferation linkages must be explored and those involved must be held accountable.”
Mr Kumar did not mention Pakistan directly but said that he was “giving you enough material to try to figure out what we are talking about”.
Earlier reports have suggested that Pakistan, a longstanding rival of India, may have secretly supplied North Korea with nuclear enrichment technology.
Mr Kumar added: “We have very clearly mentioned that we not only deplore North Korea’s recent actions but also stated that its proliferation linkages must be explored and those involved be held accountable.

Mr Kumar said they discussed maritime security, connectivity, and nuclear proliferation
Donald Trump threatened to “destroy” North Korea in his debut speech at the UN amid rising tensions in the Korean peninsula.
North Korea fired a missile over Japan last Friday and it travelled 2,299 miles.
The hermit state launched the missile in retaliation against the recent UN sanctions imposed on North Korea after it ramped up its nuclear testing.
North Korea has warned more sanctions would only make it accelerate its controversial nuclear programme.
