North Korea has vowed to not carry out unannounced missile tests and other activities hazardous to commercial aviation, according to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).

It said last week North Korean authorities made the promise to ICAO officials during their visit to Pyongyang from May 7 to 9, while explaining Pyongyang's nuclear program.

The visit came after North Korea announced at a plenary session of the ruling Workers' Party on April 20 that the country would suspend its nuclear and intercontinental missile tests.

"We received a solid assurance from the Democratic People's Republic of Korea that they will not be engaging in activities hazardous for aviation without full advanced notice for the other states in the region, and that they would coordinate that activity to ensure that we could retain safety," ICAO Air Navigation Bureau Director Stephen Creamer said on his return to Beijing.

Asked if this meant international airlines would resume flights over North Korea, ICAO Regional Director Arun Mishra said: "It's always a possibility. ... We're continuing toward establishing a more healthy relationship."

ICAO and North Korea's General Administration of Civil Aviation are also coordinating an air traffic management workshop.

North Korea has conducted ballistic missile tests without giving advance notification to relevant international organizations, like the ICAO and the International Maritime Organization.

Airlines take indirect routes to avoid North Korea due to the threat of unannounced missile launches that are worrisome in the wake of the 2014 downing of Malaysia Airlines Flight MH17 over Ukraine.

France, Germany, the United Kingdom, the United States and other countries have advised airlines not to fly in North Korean airspace, known as the Pyongyang flight information region.
