SKorea wants North to feel pain over nuclear test claim
[AA.TR] South Korean President Park Geun-hye made it clear Wednesday that China has a "necessary role" to play in forcing  North Korea to back down from its current policy of nuclear armament.In an address to her own nation, Park spoke of the need to properly punish Pyongyang, after the North claimed last week that it had carried out its first hydrogen bomb test. Any sanctions would be useless, according to the South's leader, unless North Korea actually "feels pain" -- Beijing has been accused in the past of failing to ensure Pyongyang feels the squeeze of international restrictions. On the contrary, the North has refused to engage in denuclearization talks since 2008, and has conducted several nuclear tests and missile launches in that time. Posted by: Fred 2016-01-14 |
