BLAMING the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) of posing an "unusual and extraordinary threat" to US security and foreign policy, US President Barack Obama yesterday declared an extension of sanctions on DPRK for additional year.

In a letter to US Congress, President Obama told lawmakers that he has decided to make the national emergency on DPRK, which will be expired on June 26, continue in effect for additional year. Under the national emergency, the administration could adopt a series of economic sanctions against Pyongyang.

"The existence and risk of the proliferation of weapons-usable fissile material on the Korean peninsula continue to pose an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security and foreign policy of the United States," Obama explained.
