| US Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced today that Washington will impose new sanctions on communist North Korea in a bid to stem the regime’s illicit atomic ambitions.
Clinton, speaking at a joint news conference in Seoul after holding unprecedented security talks with US and South Korean defence and military officials, said the sanctions were part of measures designed to rein in the regime’s nuclear activities by stamping out illegal moneymaking ventures used to fund the program.
“These measures are not directed at the people of North Korea, who have suffered too long due to the misguided priorities of their government,” Clinton said.
“They are directed at the destabilising, illicit, and provocative policies pursued by that government.” The UN Security Council has imposed stiff sanctions on North Korea in recent years to punish the regime for defying the world body by testing nuclear weapons and long-range missiles, and illegally selling arms and weapons.
