US, China agree on UN NKorea resolution

WASHINGTON, D.C.: The United States and China have agreed on a UN resolution on North Korea’s nuclear “provocations,” the White House announced Wednesday, with diplomats saying it would include fresh sanctions and could go to a Security Council vote soon.

Diplomats at UN headquarters in New York said Washington and Beijing, Pyongyang’s main backer, had agreed on a draft resolution that contained “very tough measures.”
