国际英语新闻：U.S. to have more consultations with world community on DPRK nuke issue

WASHINGTON, July 29 (Xinhua) -- The United States will begin a new round of consultations with the United Nations and other countries concerned over nuclear issues of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea (DPRK), the State Department said on Wednesday.

    Philip Goldberg, U.S. coordinator for implementing the UN sanctions against the DPRK, is going to New York to consult with the UN sanctions committee, State Department officials said.

    A U.S. delegation led by Goldberg will also leave for Moscow on Monday for talks with Russian Foreign Ministry and financial officials in a bid to effectively enforce the sanctions that were approved in response to Pyongyang's nuclear test in May.

    In addition, Goldberg is expected to travel in Asia in mid-August for similar consultations, the officials said.

    Last month, the UN Security Council adopted Resolution 1874 condemning "in the strongest terms" the DPRK's nuclear test and imposing new sanctions.

    The resolution banned all weapons exports from the DPRK and most arms imports into the country, authorized UN member states to inspect the DPRK's sea, air and land cargo and required them to seize and destroy any goods transported in violation of the sanctions.
