The United States is looking for new ways to tighten sanctions against North Korea after Russia and China disrupted UN monitoring efforts. Meanwhile, North Korea has criticized the US ambassador's trip to Asia aimed at strengthening sanctions, calling it a "beggar's tour.

The US ambassador to the United Nations said on Friday that she hopes to find a new way to enforce sanctions against North Korea. The decision is due to the fact that Russia has violated the update of the monitoring commission, and China abstained from voting. This was reported by UNN with reference to Reuters and KBS World Radio.

Details

U.S. Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield said she hopes to find a new way to enforce sanctions on North Korea by next month after Russia and China disrupted the resumption of monitoring activities.

According to the official, Washington and its allies are considering various options for replacing the group of experts that has monitored the implementation of sanctions aimed at curbing North Korea's nuclear and missile programs for the past 15 years.

We are working to get something done in the General Assembly (UN). We are forcing the UN Secretariat, through the Secretary General, to do something outside the UN. There may be not only one option. It may be to consider two or three different options that will give us the information we need

- Thomas-Greenfield said when asked if the United States and its allies could create an alternative.

Reuters reminds that last month, Russia rejected the commission's annual update, and China abstained from voting.

AddendumAddendum

Meanwhile, North Korea has criticized US Ambassador to the United Nations Linda Thomas-Greenfield's trip to Asia, calling it a beggar's tour. The trip was aimed at strengthening sanctions against Pyongyang, said North Korean Vice Foreign Minister Kim Sung Kyong, according to the state news agency KCNA.

Recall

South Korea imposed sanctions on Russian vessels Angara and Lady R and Russian companies - Intellect LLC and Sodeistvie LLC and their executives for cooperation with the DPRK.

North Korea has successfully tested a new medium-range hypersonic missile, the Hwasong-16B, which Kim Jong Un has called a key element in deterring enemies such as the United States, South Korea, and Japan.
