South Korea 🇰🇷 welcomes new UN sanctions on North Korea🇰🇵

South Korea welcomed the UN Security Council's move to impose new sanctions on its neighbour North Korea, describing it as a "strict warning from the international community".

The country's foreign ministry said in a statement on Tuesday that South Korea will continue to strengthen cooperation with the international community to ensure that the resolutions "are thoroughly implemented".

On Monday, the 15-member council - which does not include South Korea - adopted a US-drafted resolution imposing fresh punishing measures against North Korea following its sixth and largest nuclear test on September 3.

Both China and Russia "made it very clear that they don't believe everything is being done that should be done".

"The ultimate goal of these moves should be to bring the country back to the negotiating table so that all sides concerned can sit together and settle the terms that can actually freeze or terminate DPRK's [Democratic People's Republic of Korea] nuclear plans, and ensure a lasting and sustainable peace in the region," the Xinhua news agency editorial said.
