China's outside priest has told his North Korean partner that Pyongyang should quit doing atomic and rocket tests, hours after new endorses were concurred by the United Nations Security Council.
Wang Yi said he asked Ri Yong-ho to comply with UN resolutions in a meeting on Sunday in the Philippines.
He didn't state how Mr Ri answered.
Saturday's determination forbidding North Korean fares and constraining interests in the nation was passed collectively.
Mr Wang said sanctions were required, yet "are not the last objective", and he encouraged exchange. He said he revealed to North Korea to keep quiet, and not incite the worldwide group with more tests.
