Seoul's leading official on inter-Korean relations says North Korea should abide by the UN resolution on its missile tests, and that the UN should be strict on how it applies the resolution. Unification Minister Lee Jong-seok, who spoke on a radio program Tuesday, said the UN resolution is about the North's missiles and weapons of mass destruction, and does not prescribe economic sanctions.
Minister Lee cautioned against any rash interpretation of the resolution, which the UN Security Council unanimously passed on Saturday. He said he thinks the council's weapons-related sanctions on Pyongyang should not adversely affect the on-going inter-Korean reconciliation projects, such as the Kaesong Industrial Park and tours to the North's Mt. Kumgang.
