South Korean President Park Geun-hye has called upon the international community, especially China, to impose harshest possible sanctions on North Korea over its latest nuclear test. President Park called last week’s actions by Pyongyang an unacceptable challenge to regional peace and security during a nationally televised address today.
She vowed to make every effort to ensure the United Nations Security Council pass the strongest resolution it can to punish the isolated regime.
China angrily criticized North Korea over last week’s nuclear test, but is seen as reluctant to impose extremely harsh sanctions against the North Korea. US Secretary of State John Kerry has also urged China to take a tougher line against North Korea.
Park said South Korea will continue its loudspeaker broadcasts of anti-North propaganda statements at North Korean soldiers along the border separating the two countries, calling it an effective psychological tool against the regime.
