The United States proposed on Monday that the UN Security Council condemn North Korea's ballistic missile launches and encourage Pyongyang to engage in diplomacy, warning that the 15-member body's failure to respond had become dangerous.
China and Russia oppose any further action by the Security Council, arguing that putting further pressure on North Korea would not be constructive. The pair vetoed a US-led push to impose more UN sanctions on North Korea in May last year. FILE PHOTO
"The reality is that those who shield the DPRK from the consequences of its escalatory missile tests put the Asian region and entire world at risk of conflict," said US Ambassador to the United Nations, Linda Thomas-Greenfield. China's Deputy UN Ambassador Dai Bing said repeated council meetings and calls for more sanctions on North Korea "neither embodies the constructive role of easing the situation, nor brings new ideas conducive for solving the problem."
