The new resolution of the UN Security Council was only a confirmation that the path chosen by the DPRK is absolutely correct. This is stated in the comments of the Foreign Ministry of North Korea on the tightening of the sanctions regime initiated by the United States.
The DPRK is not going to take into account the UN Security Council resolution adopted in response to Pyongyang's regular nuclear tests. In North Korea, the document was regarded as "a product of a disgusting provocation". Doubts that he was pushed by the US "through vile and dirty methods and means" do not have North Koreans. However, to deprive themselves of the "legal right to self-defense" they will not allow:.
"The DPRK will redouble its efforts to increase its power to defend the country's sovereignty and the right to exist and to maintain peace and security in the region by achieving practical balance with the United States," the official statement of the DPRK Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Resolution 2375 was adopted unanimously by the members of the UN Security Council. As a result, the strictest sanctions regime of the UN in the 21st century is established with regard to the DPRK. However, thanks to Russia's position, Pyongyang's nuclear ambitions did not cost him as much as they could. In particular, Moscow achieved the abolition of the provision on a full oil embargo. The document stipulates only strict restrictions on the supply of oil products - up to 500 thousand. barrels from 1 October to 31 December 2017. and up to 2 million barrels during the whole of 2018. Deliveries of crude oil in the DPRK should not exceed the volumes of the current year.
In turn, the DPRK has lost the opportunity to sell its textile products abroad, and citizens of the country can not find work in other countries. However, the item on the deportation of all North Koreans currently working abroad from the US text of the resolution is deleted.
New sanctions were adopted after the DPRK announced on Sept. 3 a test of a hydrogen warhead for intercontinental ballistic missiles, which had been launched earlier. The military of South Korea estimated the power of a charge of 250 kilotons, RIA Novosti reported.
