sourceThe U.N. Security Council is considering possible sanctions to impose on North Korea for its defiance of the world organization through its nuclear test.
The veto-wielding permanent five members met for a second day Tuesday as experts from the panel of 15 debated wording of proposed measures to be put in a formal draft resolution.
Ambassador John Bolton of the United States led the initiative, having circulated among council members a rough draft. He described meetings as showing "substantial areas of agreement."
Ambassador Wang Guangya of China, long an ally of Pyongyang, said "I think we need firm, constructive, appropriate but prudent responses to North Korea. I think there has to be some punitive action."
