Beijing tells Tokyo it opposes unilateral N.Korea sanctions

China is willing to work with the international community to fully implement UN resolutions on North Korea, but opposes any unilateral sanctions outside that framework, a senior Chinese diplomat told Japan on Wednesday.


Speaking by phone to Kenji Kanasugi, director-general of Asian and Oceanian Affairs ureau at Japan's Foreign Ministry, China's special envoy for the Korean peninsula Wu Dawei said China had always pushed for denuclearization via talks.

"China is willing, along with the international community, to fully and completely enforce Security Council resolutions, and opposes unilateral sanctions imposed outside the framework of Security Council resolutions," China's Foreign Ministry cited Wu as saying.
