  • Story Text: China and North Korean Foreign Ministers met on the sidelines of a regional meeting in Manila on Sunday (August 6), a day after the United Nations Security Council agreed on tough sanctions on Pyongyang over its missile tests.
    The meeting of the two ministers appeared to be in good spirits.
    Wang told reporters earlier in the day that sanctions are needed against North Korea but are certainly not the final aim.
    Washington, frustrated that China has not done more to rein in North Korea, has threatened to exert trade pressure on Beijing and impose sanctions on Chinese firms doing business with Pyongyang.
