EU calls on UN to adopt further NK sanctions
None
The president of the European Commission says North Korea's latest nuclear test compels the international community to unite in swift and decisive reaction.
Donald Tusk said the European Union stands ready to sharpen its policy of sanctions and invites North Korea to restart dialogue on its nuclear and missile programs without condition.
In Sunday's statement, Tusk said the EU calls on the UN Security Council "to adopt further UN sanctions and show stronger resolve to achieve a peaceful denuclearization of the Korean peninsula," adding, "The stakes are getting too high."
He said North Korea must abandon its nuclear weapons of mass destruction and ballistic missile programs in a verifiable and irreversible manner and it must cease all related activities at once.
