Washington, Rabi'II 24, 1434, Mar 6, 2013, SPA - The White House said Tuesday that North Korea will “achieve nothing” from its provocative behavior. “We have urged the North Korean leadership to heed President Barack Obama’s call to choose the path of peace and come into compliance with its international obligations,” White House spokesman Jay Carney told reporters. “Again, these provocations are not new, but they certainly are not helpful to the North Korean people and they’re not helpful to the effort to bring North Korea into compliance with its international obligations.” The United States and China agreed to a draft U.N. Security Council resolution Tuesday in response to North Korea’s latest nuclear test on February 12. “The draft resolution, which is agreed upon by the U.S. and China, provides a credible and strong response that further impedes the growth of DPRK’s nuclear weapons and ballistic missile programs and its ability to engage in proliferation activities. We anticipate adoption of this important resolution later this week,” Carney said. “I think this demonstrates an international consensus about the urgent need for North Korea to abide by its international obligations, to get right with the world when it comes to its nuclear weapons ambitions and, in doing so, to begin to end the isolation that the government and the country of North Korea has found itself in because of its pursuit of nuclear weapons,” Carney said. --SPA 11:19 LOCAL TIME 08:19 GMT www.spa.gov.sa/1084823
