Pressure grows on south korean government over North Korea visit

JIM-JONG-PARK (Reuters) – South Korean President Park Geun-hye vowed on Sunday to tighten sanctions against North Korea if it conducts another nuclear test, after the United Nations Security Council condemned it.

U.N. President Donald Trump called North Korea last week on its first known provocation of the year and urged it to halt its nuclear program immediately.

The North has said it would never use nuclear weapons in response to Trump’s warning but has failed to test its nuclear technology.

“The government of the Republic of Korea cannot allow the development of nuclear weapons in the face of all security threats and urges all sides not to develop them,” Park’s spokesman said at a news briefing.

Asked if a U.N. Security Council resolution intended to block Pyongyang’s path toward a nuclear-armed power would prevent further provocation, he said “our position is clear” and called for further sanctions to remain in place.

Trump’s threats could also spark another military confrontation on the Korean Peninsula, analysts said.

“The threat to nuclear war could rise as Pyongyang continues to provoke,” South Korean lawmaker Cho A-Jung said in an analysis of Trump’s remarks by the foreign ministry, referring to Pyongyang’s latest provocation with a missile test in September.

In his remarks at the U.N., the president sought to justify his call to “strongly consider” North Korea’s September 4 nuclear test as a violation of a previous pact to rein in Pyongyang’s nuclear and missile programs, which he said violated U.N. resolutions.

North Korea’s state news agency KCNA said the United Nations panel had urged it to freeze its activities, and asked the world “to firmly consider” what action “it would demand from all concerned countries to화천출장샵 avoid further provocations.”

The U.N. panel, which is dominated by U.S. allies, is composed of Russi양산안마 양산출장샵a, China, France, Japan and Germany. It was set up by the U.N. Security Council in 2002 in the aftermath of the Sept. 11 attacks on New York and Washington.

South Korea and the United States last week ordered the deployment of U.S. missile defense systems to an area near their eastern coast,바카라 a measure South Korean Defense Ministry sources told the Associated Press.
