U.S. to urge others to enforce U.N. sanctions against N. Korea
[Kyodo: Korea] The United States will press China and other key players to enforce U.N. sanctions imposed against North Korea in response to its nuclear test in May, the government said Saturday, following Pyongyang's firing of ballistic missiles. ''North Korean missile launches highlight the importance of fully implementing the provisions of the U.N. resolutions,'' said a State Department spokesman. ''North Korea should refrain from actions that aggravate tensions and focus on the denuclearization talks and implementation of its commitments on the Sept. 19, 2005, joint statement.''
