New York: The United States will submit to the U.N. Security Council on Thursday a draft resolution that would expand sanctions against North Korea over its latest nuclear test, a spokesman for the U.S. mission to the United Nation said.
"Ambassador (Samantha) Power intends to submit for consideration by the Security Council a draft sanctions resolution in response to (North Korea`s) recent nuclear test and subsequent proscribed ballistic missile launch," spokesman Kurtis Cooper said in a statement.
"We look forward to working with the council on a strong and comprehensive response to the DPRK`s (North Korea`s) latest series of tests aimed at advancing their nuclear weapons program," he said.
