16h 28min, jan 15, 2018 y - North Korea meeting to stress importance of sanctions: Canada

Description:

A Japanese government source said the world needed to “force North Korea to change its policy by maximizing pressure through all available means, including through full implementation of U.N. Security Council resolutions and autonomous sanctions.”

U.S. officials say the meeting will probe how to boost maritime security around North Korea to intercept ships trying to defy sanctions.

Eric Walsh, Canada’s ambassador to South Korea, said the uneven way punitive measures were being applied meant “there are a lot of gaps.”
