Top U.S. diplomats are meeting with key UN officials back-to-back to discuss North Korea sanctions.
Washington's Special Representative for North Korea, Stephen Biegun, is traveling to New York on Thursday... to meet with the UN Security Council and key Permanent Representatives.
The U.S. State Department says Biegun will discuss the recent North Korea-U.S. summit and efforts to ensure the full implementation of UN resolutions until North Korea's final and fully verified denuclearization.
Secretary of State Mike Pompeo met with UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres on Wednesday and discussed the denuclearization issue.
The meetings come after a UN panel report said North Korea is still violating sanctions and engaging in illegal ship-to-ship transfers of petroleum and coal.
