NEW YORK - China asserted on Monday that it “strictly” implements UN sanctions on North Korea, reacting to a letter from the Group of Seven, European Union and others that urged Beijing to stop Pyongyang from evading the measures by using Chinese waters.
“China has always been strictly implementing #UNSC resolutions and seriously fulfilling international obligations,” China’s UN mission spokesperson posted on Twitter in response to a Reuters report on the letter to China’s UN envoy Zhang Jun. North Korea, formally named Democratic People’s Republic of Korea , has been subject to UN sanctions since 2006 over its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. So-called six-party denuclearisation talks - between North Korea, South Korea, China, the United States, Russia and Japan - stalled in 2009.
China said last year that the key to solving the issue of North Korea’s ballistic missile and nuclear programmes was in the United States’ hands, urging Washington to show “more sincerity and flexibility” if it wants a breakthrough.
