(Reuters/NAN) North Korea on Friday threatened to take “corresponding
measures” if the UN Security Council adopts another sanctions
resolution in response to the North’s test-launch of an Intercontinental
Ballistic Missile (ICBM) on July 4.
The North’s foreign ministry said in a statement carried by the
official KCNA news agency that the ICBM test was an exercise of its
legitimate right to self-defense against nuclear threat from the United
States.
The U.S. has been trying to get China and Russia to back a new UN
Security Council resolution imposing stiffer sanctions on North Korea
following its latest missile test.
NAN reports that during a Security Council meeting on July 7, U.S.
ambassador to the UN Nikki Haley, threatened secondary sanctions if the
council could not agree on new sanctions.
On June 3, the council voted to broaden sanctions on North Korea in a unanimous decision from the council’s 15 member nations.
The new sanctions applied to a travel ban and asset freeze to 14 people and four North Korean entities.
Among the blacklisted officials is the head of North Korea’s overseas
spying operations, senior members of North Korea’s Workers’ Party, and
heads of trading firms that have funded North Korea’s military program.
Blacklisted entities include two trading firms, the Strategic Rocket
Force of the Korean People’s Army, and the Koryo Bank, which is tied to
an organisation that manages the private finances of North Korean
officials, including the nation’s president, Kim Jong Un.
