The United States and China have come to an agreement on a new U.N. resolution that will impose strict sanctions on North Korea in response to the pariah state’s recent rocket launch and nuclear test, U.N. diplomats said on Wednesday.
A Security Council diplomat, speaking to the Associated Press on condition of anonymity, said that a draft of the resolution is “significantly substantive” and said there was hope that it would be implemented in the days ahead.
U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry told Congress on Wednesday that both countries were “on the brink” of sealing a strong U.N. Security Council resolution against Kim Jong-un’s regime.
