US: Seoul Must Continue to Enforce Sanctions on Pyongyang

Christy Lee

   WASHINGTON - The U.S. has responded to a call by South Korean President
   Moon Jae-in for renewed inter-Korean cooperation by stressing that
   Seoul must continue to implement all sanctions on North Korea.

   "All U.N. Member States are required to implement U.N. Security Council
   sanctions resolutions, and we expect them all to continue doing so," a
   State Department spokesperson said in an email message sent to VOA's
   Korean Service Wednesday.

   "The United States and South Korea coordinate closely on our efforts
   related to the DPRK, and we mutually work to ensure that U.N. sanctions
   are fully implemented," the spokesperson continued.

   The DPRK stands for the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, the
   official English name of North Korea.
