China says it will back new measures against North Korea

China's foreign minister said on Thursday his country will support new measures against North Korea following the latest nuclear test by the Kim Jong-un regime.


Given the situation on the Korean peninsula, the United Nations Security Council should seek a "further response" and adopt new measures, Wang Yi said at a press conference in Beijing after a meeting with Nepal's Deputy Prime Minister Krishna Bahadur Mahara, although he added that sanctions were only part of the solution.
