FM: Details of US Sanctions on NK to Come in 2 Weeks

Foreign Minister Yu Myung-hwan says the U.S. will likely announce the details of its new sanctions against North Korea in two weeks. 

Yu said that the sanctions are aimed at making North Korea change its attitude and become a responsible member of the international community. 

He made the remarks in a radio interview on Wednesday morning. 

Yu said that North Korea is being unreasonable in its threats to respond to the recent U.S.-South Korea joint military drills with force. 

The minister said the latest U.S.-South Korea joint military exercises were meaningful because they delivered a clear message that the two allies will not tolerate additional provocations from North Korea. He said the drills also served to assure South Koreans that the U.S.-South Korean alliance remains solid.
