South Korea’s Defence Minister stated that a few nations were not considering North Korea’s illegal approach towards things. He looks at it as a major threat to burden UN sanctions opposed to its missile and nuclear programmes. China and Russia neglected a US call for the United Nations Security Council to criticise North Korea for a latest try to bring a satellite and beside criticised the United States for creating stress on the Korean peninsula.
This is creating holes in sanctions against North Korea passed at the UN Security Council, Defence Minister Lee Jong-sup spoke in a speech given by him at the Shangri-La Dialogue in Singapore. Accepting inactivity to North Korea’s illegal behaviour will deteriorate the security of the entire country. The South Korean minister explained the need of trilateral security coordination with the US and Japan to deter North Korea. North Korea states that it has a sovereign right to space development.
