TAKE ACTION ON NORTH KOREA NOW, U.S TELLS CHINA, RUSSIA

WASHINGTON – The United State has called on China and Russia to call North Korea to order following its latest act of provocation in the region.

North Korea on Thursday fired missiles towards the sea of Japan just few days after the UN Security Council authorised very strict sanctions on North Korea over its activities in the region.

“North Korea’s provocative missile launch represents the second time the people of Japan, a treaty ally of the United States, have been directly threatened in recent weeks. These continued provocations only deepen North Korea’s diplomatic and economic isolation”, the United States said in a statement signed by Spokesperson Department of State, Heather Nauert.

The U.S said the United Nations Security Council resolutions, including the most recent unanimous sanctions resolution, represent the floor, not the ceiling, of the actions the world should take.

“We call on all nations to take new measures against the Kim regime. China supplies North Korea with most of its oil. Russia is the largest employer of North Korean forced labor. China and Russia must indicate their intolerance for these reckless missile launches by taking direct actions of their own”, the U. S said in a statement.
