Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi
United Nations - Arab Today
The UN Security Council held a special meeting on Friday to discuss the Korean Peninsula nuclear issue.
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres will brief the ministerial meeting, which is chaired by U.S. Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, whose country holds the rotating presidency of the Security Council this month.
Chinese Foreign Minister Wang Yi and foreign ministers or vice foreign ministers of Britain, Russia, Senegal and Japan, attended the meeting.
All the 15 members of the Security Council, as planned, will address the Security Council focusing on the nuclear issue on the Korean Peninsula and the implementation of relevant UN resolutions.
The U.S. presidency received a request from the Republic of Korea (ROK) to participate and its representative will speak after the 15 council members.
The Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK) conducted a hydrogen bomb test and a nuclear warhead explosion test in Jan. 6 and Sept. 9 of 2016, respectively. The Security Council adopted resolutions on March 2 and Nov. 30 of 2016, respectively, demanding that the DPRK abandon its nuclear weapon and missile programs and imposing sanctions on it.
