The United States has called for new sanctions on North Korea at the UN. They would for the first time target aspects of the state’s financial system. The U.S. ambassador Susan Rice said Washington had the support of China for a new draft Security Council resolution. Barbara Plett reports from the UN.
美国在联合国呼吁对朝鲜实施新的制裁，将首次针对该国的金融体系，美国驻联合国大使苏珊•赖斯说，华盛顿希望联合国通过新的决议草案，目前已得到中国的支持。Barbara Plett在联合国报道。

Susan Rice told reporters that the draft resolution calls for strengthening existing sanctions on North Korea as well as breaking new ground. Some of the new measures include targeting diplomats, banking activities and cash transfer she said. This will be the fourth round of UN sanctions against North Korea aimed at halting its nuclear and ballistic missile programmes. The draft is a response to Pyongyang’s recent nuclear test and was negotiated between the US and China, North Korea’s ally on the Security Council. Ms. Rice spoke after circulating the text to council members. A vote is expected later this week.
