Hua Hin (Thailand): The 15th Association of Southeast Asian Nations Summit here issued a statement Saturday urging North Korea to fully comply with UN resolutions.
“We urged the DPRK (North Korea) to comply fully with its obligations in accordance with the relevant United Nations Security Council resolutions,” Xinhua reported quoting the statement.
The UN Security Council resolution 1874, adopted on June 12, allowed wider sanctions against North Korea for its May 25 nuclear test. North Korea rejected the resolution and announced it has quit the six-party talks aimed at denuclearising the Korean Peninsula.
“We also urged all concerned parties to return to the six party talks as soon as possible and fully implement their commitments made in previous rounds of dialogue that remains the main mechanism for achieving peace and stability in the Korean Peninsula,” the statement added.
Besides North Korea, the US, China, South Korea, Japan and Russia participate in the talks.
