Sharjah 24 – AFP: China on Thursday blocked a US push to impose United Nations sanctions on five North Koreans in response to recent missile launches by Pyongyang, diplomats said.
The 15-member Security Council had until 2000 GMT to decide on the US request, submitted last week. China's veto came before a new closed-door council meeting on North Korea, also requested by Washington.
