40 nations demand missile test notices

China conducted a test of an intercontinental ballistic missile from a nuclear submarine in the Pacific Ocean, which was limitedly reported by some countries before the test took place. This coincided with a joint statement from the United States and 40 other nations warning of the dangers of not providing prior notification for such tests, emphasizing that failure to do so poses risks to peace and security and increases the chances of misjudgment. Additionally, leaders of Pacific Island Forum nations condemned a test launch of a strategic missile carrying a dummy warhead, expressing concern over the escalation of China’s nuclear programs and the unclear expansion of its arsenal. Beijing, meanwhile, stated that the test was part of annual drills conducted according to international law, following limited prior notification.
