Resolution on NK not just a duty for China
CHINA has called for a fair and balanced execution of the UN resolution against Pyongyang, adding that the responsibility to do so does not stop with China.
“The UN Security Council resolution should be implemented by the whole international community and not just one country,” foreign ministry spokesman Hong Lei said at a daily press conference yesterday.
He had been asked if the major responsibility lies with China since about 90 percent of North Korea’s trade volume is from China.
Resolution 2270, which was adopted unanimously by the 15-country council last week, requires states to inspect all cargo going to and from North Korea.
It imposes an asset freeze on all funds and other economic resources owned or controlled, directly or indirectly, by its government or by the Workers’ Party of Korea if they are found to be associated with its nuclear or ballistic missile programs or any other prohibited activities.
It also calls for resumption of the six-party talks, which were designed to facilitate a peaceful solution to the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula. The talks, involving China, North Korea, the US, South Korea, Russia and Japan, stalled in 2008.
Hong said the resolution aims to curb North Korea’s nuclear and missile plan without affecting people’s livelihoods and humanitarian needs.
