India applies North Korea sanctions under pressure from Seoul

India confirmed it is taking financial measures to freeze North Korea assets and to ban Pyongyang's military officers from training in the country, in response to pressures from Seoul to implement United Nations Security Council sanctions resolutions.


India's external affairs ministry spokesman Gopal Baglay told South Korean news agency Yonhap on Monday his government is taking steps to fulfill its obligations under the U.N. Charter and that it is blocking the movement of North Korea assets in the country.

Baglay also said India is banning travel, investigating ships flying under the North Korean flag and taking "financial measures," according to Yonhap.
