File photoWASHINGTON, Jun 7 The United States would like more cooperation from China in resolving the North Korean missile crisis, but the recent use of the UN Security Council veto right does not allow for this, said the US Special Representative for DPRK Song Kim. Last Thursday, Russia and China vetoed a US-proposed resolution to tighten sanctions against the DPRK over a series of missile tests conducted the day before. «We hope that China will be more involved in working with us to resolve the current situation,» Kim said during a special briefing. According to a representative of the American administration, «the last vote (in the Security Council) of the UN is evidence that the United States does not yet see the necessary level of cooperation from the PRC.» On Sunday, the DPRK from 9:08 to 9:43 (from 3:08 to 3:00 43 Moscow time) launched eight short-range ballistic missiles from a number of places towards the Sea of Japan. This is the DPRK's 18th missile test since the beginning of the year, including launches of intercontinental ballistic missiles, a ballistic missile for submarines, systems for a space satellite and a new tactical system for nuclear weapons. in response to this, South Korea and the United States carried out their own missile launches.
