Justice Party proposes parliamentary resolution calling for lifting NK sanctions
By YonhapPublished : Nov. 12, 2018 - 11:19
The chief of the Justice Party proposed Monday that the parliament adopt a resolution calling for lifting international sanctions on North Korea to facilitate the North's denuclearization.
Lee Jeong-mi of the leftist party made the call at a time when denuclearization talks between the United States and North Korea have stalled.
"If the National Assembly adopts a resolution calling for lifting (international) sanctions on North Korea, the path to the North's denuclearization and peace will be accelerated," she said at a meeting with party members.
"If Pyongyang makes progress toward denuclearization, we need to make efforts to urge the international community to lift sanctions in a balanced move," she added.
US-North Korea high-level talks scheduled for last Thursday in New York were postponed. The delay came as both sides are preparing for a second summit between US President Donald Trump and North Korean leader Kim Jong-un. (Yonhap)
