China and the United States have agreed on new United Nations sanctions to impose on the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea over the nuclear test it conducted in September.
The word comes from a senior U.N. Security Council diplomat. Since the DPRK carried out its fifth and largest nuclear test on September 9, the U.S. and China have been negotiating a new draft resolution on Pyongyang. That draft text was recently given to the remaining three permanent Council veto powers—Britain, France and Russia.
