Russia and China submitted to the UN Security Council a draft resolution calling for a sanctions relief to improve the humanitarian situation in North Korea, APA reports citing TASS.
According to a copy of the document, obtained by TASS, the UN Security Council "shall adjust the sanction measures towards the DPRK as may be needed in light of the DPRK’s compliance with relevant UN Security Council resolutions." It also suggests that sanctions, imposed by earlier UN Security Council resolutions, "which are directly related to the livelihood of the civilian population of the DPRK should be lifted at an early date."
The document "welcomes the continuation of the dialogue between the United States and the DPRK at all levels." At the same time, Moscow and Bejing suggest calling for "prompt resumption of the six-party talks or re-launch of multilateral consultations in any other similar format, with the goal of facilitating a peaceful and comprehensive solution through dialogue."
It also "calls upon all parties concerned to consider implementing further practical steps to reduce military tension on the Korean Peninsula and probability of any military confrontation by all appropriate means, such as, but not limited to, conclusion of agreements between military officials, adoption of formal declaration and/or a peace treaty for the end of the Korean war."
It is yet unclear when the document will be considered by the Security Council, a UN diplomatic source told TASS.
"The date of the vote is yet unknown. Prior to the vote, the document will be discussed during consultations with all UN Security Council members," he said.
