(Agencies)
Updated: 2009-06-30 23:06 WASHINGTON: US officials are traveling to China to discuss U.N. sanctions slapped on the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) for a nuclear test last month.
A new U.N. resolution seeks to stop DPRK trading of banned weapons by requiring U.N. member states to request inspections of ships suspected of carrying prohibited cargo. China's cooperation is seen as crucial to to bring Pyongyang back to nuclear disarmament talks. Goldberg, a former ambassador, is in charge of coordinating implementation of sanctions against DPRK. |
