South Korea Questions North Korea’s Suitability for UN Membership

globallookpress.com

South Korea has questioned the suitability of North Korea for membership at the United Nations (UN), drawing attention to Pyongyang’s repeated violations of UN Security Council resolutions.

Speaking to the Associated Press on Tuesday, South Korean Foreign Minister Yun Byung-se said, ''I think all members of the UN have to ask themselves whether North Korea is really qualified as a member of the UN'', Press TV reports. 

His comments came on the sidelines of the 71st session of the UN General Assembly in New York, where world leaders have gathered for the event.

The remarks also came less than two weeks after Pyongyang carried out a nuclear warhead explosion -its fifth - on September 9. Authorities in Seoul at the time described it as the North’s biggest nuclear test ever.
