Pyongyang’s nuclear program poses danger to every corner of the world, the South Korean foreign minister said. He called for cutting off crude oil supplies to North Korea and stopping coal imports from the country.
WASHINGTON (Sputnik) — North Korea has almost completed its nuclear development program, putting every country in the world in imminent danger, South Korean Foreign Affairs Minister Yun Byung-se told the UN Security Council on Friday.
“North Korea is now at the final stage of nuclear weaponization and claims to be a nuclear weapon state,” Yun stated. “Rapid development of ballistic missiles of all types and ranges now threaten to reach every corner of the world.”
The UN Security Council should consider cutting off crude oil supplies to North Korea and stopping coal imports from the country in response to Pyongyang’s nuclear weapons-related activities, Yun Byung-se said.
“We could take potent measures, such as halting the export and supply of crude oil to North Korea, completely cutting up North Korean hard currency earnings by, for instance suspending all imports of coal from North Korea,” Byung-se stated.
